Summary

This study aims to investigate whether physical activity intervention would be effective to improve sleep quality in children with ASD, and investigate how physical activity impacts on sleep in children with ASD through melatonin-mediated mechanism model. A parallel-group randomized controlled trial comparing a 12-week jogging intervention and a control group receiving standard care in 32 children with ASD will be conducted. This study will monitor the changes of four sleep parameters (sleep onset latency; sleep efficiency, wake after sleep onset and sleep duration) through objective actigraphic assessment and parental sleep logs.
