Summary

This study compared the effects of group-based versus individual-based exercise programs on balance and coordination in children aged 3-12 years who were diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) Level 1. A total of 16 children were recruited and randomly allocated into two groups (n=8 each): Group A (individual-based) and Group B (group-based). Both groups received 40-minute exercise sessions, 3 days per week, for 6 weeks. Outcomes were assessed at baseline and after 6 weeks using the Pediatric Balance Scale (PBS) and neurological coordination tests (Finger-to-Nose, Heel-to-Shin, Past-Pointing).
