This study compared components of motor proficiency and physical fitness in adolescents with and without autism spectrum disorders, and assessed the associations between the two measures within each group. A total of 62 adolescent males with (n = 31) and without (n = 31) autism spectrum disorders aged 10-17 years completed the Bruininks-Oseretsky Test of Motor Proficiency (2nd ed.), the BROCKPORT Physical Fitness Test, and the bioelectrical impedance analysis. The main findings are as follows: (1) adolescents with autism spectrum disorders had significantly lower scores on all motor proficiency and fitness measures, except body composition, than adolescents without autism spectrum disorders and that (2) the types of associations between the two measures differed significantly across the groups. Specific interventions to maximize motor proficiency and physical fitness in adolescents with autism spectrum disorders are urgently needed.
这项研究比较了患有和不患有自闭症谱系障碍的青少年在运动技能和身体素质方面的组成部分，并评估了两组内这两个测量指标之间的关联。共有 62 名年龄在 10 至 17 岁的青少年男性（自闭症谱系障碍组：n = 31；非自闭症谱系障碍组：n = 31）完成了布鲁因克斯-奥塞尔斯基运动技能测试（第 2 版）、布罗克波特体能测试和生物电阻抗分析。主要发现如下：（1）自闭症谱系障碍组在所有运动技能和身体素质测试中得分明显低于非自闭症谱系障碍组，除身体成分外，（2）两组之间的关联类型存在显著差异。急需针对自闭症谱系障碍青少年制定专门的干预措施，以最大程度地提高他们的运动技能和身体素质。
