Summary

This trial tests whether a 12-week exercise program can improve motor skills, aerobic capacity, and quality of life in children aged 5–13 with autism spectrum disorder. Participants do activities like walking, balancing, and ball games. Researchers compare them to a non-exercising group to see if regular exercise makes a difference.

What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a simple, drug-free way to improve motor skills and daily functioning in children with autism.
