The present study was aimed at analyzing the effect of physical activity on motor coordination in children with ASD.
On 28 June 2021, a systematic review with meta-analysis was performed using the following databases: MEDLINE, SciELO, LILACS, PEDro, SPORTDiscus, CINAHL, SCOPUS, Web of Science, Cochrane, and Science Direct. We analyzed the methodological quality and risk of bias using the Jadad scale and Cochrane tool, respectively. Motor coordination results were meta-analyzed using the RevMan program. Two independent researchers used the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE) tool to assess the level of evidence from the meta-analysis.
We found four studies in the listed databases and five randomized clinical trials were included in the meta-analysis that included 109 children with ASD. Children with ASD who performed physical activity did not present significantly better motor coordination than control children ( = 0.12).
Considering the clinical importance of physical activity for children with ASD, this systematic review with meta-analysis showed that physical activity had no statistically significant effects on coordination in individuals with ASD.
本研究旨在分析身体活动对自闭症谱系障碍儿童运动协调能力的影响。
2021 年 6 月 28 日，我们使用以下数据库进行了系统评价和荟萃分析：MEDLINE、SciELO、LILACS、PEDro、SPORTDiscus、CINAHL、SCOPUS、Web of Science、Cochrane 和 Science Direct。我们分别使用 Jadad 量表和 Cochrane 工具分析了方法学质量和偏倚风险。使用 RevMan 程序对运动协调结果进行荟萃分析。两位独立研究人员使用推荐评估、制定与评价（GRADE）工具来评估荟萃分析的证据水平。
我们在列出的数据库中找到了四项研究，其中五项随机临床试验被纳入荟萃分析，共纳入 109 名自闭症谱系障碍儿童。与对照组儿童相比，进行身体活动的自闭症谱系障碍儿童的运动协调能力并没有显著提高（SMD = 0.12）。
考虑到身体活动对自闭症谱系障碍儿童的临床重要性，本系统评价和荟萃分析表明，身体活动对自闭症谱系障碍个体的协调能力没有统计学上的显著影响。
