The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of a family-based judo program on sleep quality in youth diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD).
Eighteen youth (13.17 years ± 3.76, 78% male) diagnosed with ASD participated in a 14-week family judo program. Sleep quality was assessed using the Actigraph GT9X accelerometer pre- and post-judo intervention. Non-parametric paired t-tests were conducted to examine changes in sleep quality variables.
There was a significant increase in sleep efficiency (p = .05), and a significant decrease in both sleep latency (p = .001) and wake after sleep onset (p = .02) following participation in the judo program. There were no changes in sleep duration observed in this sample (p = .83).
Participation in a family judo program may improve sleep quality in youth with ASD. More research is necessary to understand the mechanisms by which judo may improve sleep quality in youth with ASD.
本研究旨在探讨基于家庭的柔道项目对自闭症谱系障碍（ASD）青少年睡眠质量的影响。
18 名被诊断患有 ASD 的青少年（13.17 岁±3.76，78%为男性）参加了为期 14 周的家庭柔道项目。在柔道干预前后使用 Actigraph GT9X 加速度计评估睡眠质量。采用非参数配对 t 检验来检验睡眠质量变量的变化。
睡眠效率显著增加（p=.05），入睡潜伏期显著缩短（p=.001），睡眠后觉醒时间显著缩短（p=.02）。然而，该样本的睡眠时间没有变化（p=.83）。
参加家庭柔道项目可能会改善 ASD 青少年的睡眠质量。需要进一步的研究来了解柔道改善 ASD 青少年睡眠质量的机制。
