Summary

The present research project aims to testing adapted judo training as a form of supportive developmental therapy, combined with nutritional counseling, to influence physical fitness, dietary habits, body composition, body stability, and blood morphology-while accounting for genetic polymorphisms-among children and adolescents with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) who possess functional communication skills and no diagnosed aphasia. The study hypothesizes that a therapeutic intervention consisting of adapted judo training integrated with nutritional guidance will significantly enhance the functional capacity of children and adolescents with ASD.

Adapted judo training for children and adeloscence with and without autism spectrum disorder - training in integrated groups

The innovation long - term (10 months) intervention conducted in an integration groups, where children and adolecence with ASD train judo, together with their neurotypical peers. The sessions would be implemented over a period of 10 months in combined training groups, ensuring that individuals with ASD and those without such a diagnosis train together. The trainings would take place twice a week for 60 minutes each. This intervention will allow for the examination of changes in physical fitness levels, body composition, and the effects of nutritional counseling following the completion of the adapted judo training program among participants. Analyses of blood morphology and genetic polymorphism will constitute additional, previously unexamined variables related to the potential for functional improvement in individuals with ASD following an intervention conducted in integrated groups.
