Summary
This study tests whether a modified sports program (Sports Stars Brazil) combined with a context-focused intervention (PREP) can help adolescents with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) become more physically active and engaged. The trial will include 52 teens with ASD and measure changes in physical literacy, goal achievement, daily performance, and family empowerment. The goal is to address both personal and environmental barriers to participation in sports and recreation.

What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a practical way to help teens with autism become more physically active and feel more included in sports and community activities.
What could go wrong
