The present study aimed to investigate the effects of combined physical training (CPT) on social skills and physical fitness (PF) in children with ASD. Sixteen children with autism (age 6-10 years) were randomly assigned into two groups: CPT and control. The CPT group participated in a program involving ball game, rhythmic movements, and resistance training for eight weeks (three sessions per week). PF and behavior profile were assessed before and after training. CPT program had a significant effect on indicators of social skills such as stereotypic behavior and communication, as well as PF such as handgrip strength, upper and lower body power, flexibility, balance, and agility (P < 0.05). CPT in autistic children can improve indicators of social skills and PF.
本研究旨在探讨综合体能训练（CPT）对自闭症儿童社会技能和体适能（PF）的影响。16 名自闭症儿童（年龄 6-10 岁）被随机分为两组：CPT 组和对照组。CPT 组参加了为期八周的球技、节奏运动和阻力训练计划（每周三次）。在训练前后评估 PF 和行为特征。CPT 方案对刻板行为和沟通等社会技能指标以及握力、上下肢力量、柔韧性、平衡和敏捷性等 PF 指标均有显著影响（P<0.05）。CPT 可改善自闭症儿童的社会技能和 PF 指标。
