Summary

The project is aligned with one of the overall: To promote social inclusion and equal opportunities, encouraging participation in sport and physical activity. With this goal in mind, the following specific objectives for this project were established:

1. To develop an adapted judo programme for children with ASD.
2. To demonstrate the impact of the participation in adapted judo on the quality of life of people with ASD.
3. To validate instruments for use among the population with ASD.
4. To establish a set of coherent pedagogical principles that can be applied throughout the EU to ensure the effectiveness of adapted judo programmes for children with ASD.
5. To establish a coherent set of pedagogical principles to promote good habits in the participation in judo by children with ASD.
6. To consolidate and disseminate a systematic approach to adapted judo participation and competition for people with ASD around the EU.

Our hypothesis is that the participants will show improved behaviour after the adapted judo intervention

BEHAVIORAL

Adapted judo programme

The judo sessions were 75 minutes in duration and were held once a week. Two judo teachers led each session, and at least four volunteer judo instructors were present to lend support. The sessions were divided into warm-up, main exercise and cool-down activities. The main exercise content of the sessions included: * Different types of movements and falling techniques (from walking in all directions to turning around, from stable movements to unstable movements). * Judo techniques and games (building up body contact with games, teaching simplified movements, essential judo movements) (blinded for review). * Ground control techniques and throws (gradually adding techniques to already known movements, scaffolding basic repetitive movements to assist in understanding to those more relevant for judo ). * Repetition of different forms of foundational directional movements (pulling, pushing, holding, lifting).
