本研究旨在探讨空手道训练对自闭症谱系障碍(ASD)儿童沟通能力的长期影响。将30例自闭症学龄儿童随机分为运动组和对照组，每组15例。运动组的参与者进行了为期14周的空手道技术训练。评估基线、干预后(14周)和1个月随访时的沟通障碍。与对照组相比，运动组的沟通障碍明显减少。此外，与干预后时间相比，运动组在一个月的随访中沟通障碍的减少没有变化。我们的结论是，向ASD儿童教授空手道技术可以显著减少他们的沟通障碍。
This investigation examined the long term effect of Karate techniques training on communication of children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD). Thirty school aged children with ASD were randomly assigned to an exercise (n = 15) or a control group (n = 15). Participants in the exercise group were engaged in 14 weeks of Karate techniques training. Communication deficit at baseline, post-intervention (week 14), and at 1 month follow up were evaluated. Exercise group showed significant reduction in communication deficit compared to control group. Moreover, reduction in communication deficit in the exercise group at one month follow up remained unchanged compared to post-intervention time. We concluded that teaching Karate techniques to children with ASD leads to significant reduction in their communication deficit.
