We compared time spent in moderate and vigorous physical activity (MVPA), type, and frequency of participation in physical activities between adolescents with ASD (n = 35) and typically developing (TD) adolescents (n = 60). Accelerometers measured MVPA and participants were interviewed about engagement in physical activities. Adolescents with ASD spent less time in MVPA compared to TD adolescents (29 min/day vs. 50 min/day, p < 0.001) and fewer met the Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans (14 vs. 29%, p > 0.05). Among adolescents <16 years old, those with ASD participated in fewer activities than TD adolescents (5.3 vs. 7.1 activities, p < 0.03). Walking/hiking and active video gaming were among the top activities for both groups. Findings support the need for interventions that meet the needs of youth with ASD.
我们比较了患有自闭症谱系障碍（ASD，n = 35）的青少年和发育正常（TD，n = 60）的青少年在中度至剧烈身体活动（MVPA）上花费的时间、参与体育活动的类型和频率。通过加速度计测量MVPA，并就参与体育活动的情况对参与者进行访谈。与TD青少年相比，患有ASD的青少年在MVPA上花费的时间更少（29分钟/天对50分钟/天，p < 0.001），且符合《美国人身体活动指南》的人数更少（14%对29%，p > 0.05）。在16岁以下的青少年中，患有ASD的青少年参与的活动比TD青少年少（5.3项对7.1项，p < 0.03）。步行/徒步旅行和主动式电子游戏是两组最常参与的活动。研究结果支持了开展满足ASD青少年需求的干预措施的必要性。
