Filter by:Thirty children with special needs were included in the study. Participants engaged in group exercises twice a week for four weeks, including warm-up and cool-down periods, with the goal of improving balance. The participants' balance was assessed using the Bruininks-Oseretsky Motor Proficiency Test Short Form (Balance Parameters), Pediatric Balance Scale; functional mobility was evaluated using the Timed Up and Go Test, and attention level was assessed using the Stroop Test before and after the intervention.
Physical exercise is widely reported to be beneficial to executive functions (EFs) in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). However, the impact of physical exercise on self-regulation (SR) in this population remains unknown. Moreover, very few studies have been done to examine the mechanism(s) that underlie the exercise-EF and exercise-SR relationships. The purposes of the present study were to test whether two types of physical exercise (cognitively engaging vs. non-cognitively engaging) benefited SR, and if the social, emotional and physical needs of an individual mediated the exercise-EF and exercise-SR relationships. Children diagnosed with ASD were randomly assigned into one of three groups: learning to ride a bicycle (n = 23), stationary cycling (n = 19) or an active control with walking (n = 22). Two EFs (flexibility and inhibition), SR and the mediating roles of perceived social support, enjoyment, stress, physical self-efficacy and perceived physical fitness were assessed.
There is a need to find an approach that is appropriate for managing children with Autism Spectrum Disorder in the dental clinic, to manage their behaviour and decrease their anxiety in this research we will apply our modified dental visual aids and test its effectiveness in managing the behavior of such children during the dental appointment.
