“…While several studies have tested nutrition interventions in young children and adults with ASD, the literature on nutrition education interventions in older adolescents is scarce (Garcia et al, 2020 ; Goldschmidt & Song, 2016 ; Hubbard et al, 2014 ; Kim & Kang, 2020 ). As older adolescents with ASD begin to transition into adulthood, a nutrition education program which assists adolescents in making healthy food choices has potential to improve dietary patterns, as well as foster autonomy and independence in this population.…”

To examine the feasibility and acceptability of a remote-based nutrition education program during COVID-19 for adolescents with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Ten adolescents with ASD participated in a 4-week nutrition education program utilizing Zoom software during COVID-19. Topics included shopping for healthy food, and food preparation safety measures. Attendance was collected for each session. Participants, parents, and the classroom teacher completed post-program surveys and interviews. The course attendance rate was 97%. Every adolescent reported they would participate in similar future programs, and the teacher/parents felt the program was a positive experience for the participants. The remote-based nutrition education program appeared to be feasible and acceptable to participants. Future research should focus on program efficacy.

“…Young people with normotypical development made up the control groups in five of the studies [ 20 , 23 , 25 , 27 , 28 ]; the remaining papers (seven) did not include a control group. As for the diagnosis of ASD, reported in Table 2 , six studies did not specify the degree of severity of the disorder [ 22 , 23 , 25 , 26 , 28 , 30 ], one included only participants with associated ID [ 29 ] and five limited the sample to children with high-functioning autism (IQ ≥ 70) [ 20 , 21 , 24 , 27 , 31 ]. Females accounted for 25% of the total sample, while the age of schoolchildren ranged from 3 to 20 years old.…”

The scientific evidence supports that physical inactivity in childhood is a reality throughout the world which generates important consequences in the global development of children. Young people with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), due to the characteristics of the disorder they suffer, constitute a group at risk. Therefore, assessing the levels of physical activity (PA) in this group is fundamental for subsequent decision making and implementation of PA promotion programmes. Consequently, the aim of this systematic review was to identify, summarise and analyse the main instruments used to assess the levels of PA (in terms of time and/or intensity) in primary school children diagnosed with ASD. Scientific articles in English and Spanish published in five databases were reviewed: PsycINFO, WOS, SPORTDiscus, Scopus and PubMed, following the guidelines of the PRISMA statement. Out of the 605 articles identified, 12 met the previously established inclusion criteria. The instruments used by the studies analysed were divided into two main groups: accelerometers and questionnaires. Both showed different strengths and limitations but agreed on the low levels registered of PA in children with ASD. For this reason, it is considered necessary that further research be carried out in this field, as well as the development and implementation of sports programmes adjusted and adapted to the needs and characteristics of the ASD group.

“…Nas entrevistas com os pais, o interesse dos jovens em continuar o treinamento do judô após o fim do primeiro programa foi ressaltado, mas, devido à falta de tempo e deslocamento a participação foi menor e não a falta de interesse dos jovens, indicando assim que o judô pode ser utilizado como fator de promoção de saúde e de qualidade de vida para esse público. O autor afirma ainda que novos estudos são necessários, pois, a amostra foi limitada (GARCIA et al, 2020).…”

Introdução: O TEA é caracterizado como um transtorno complexo, de caráter mental e que prejudica o desenvolvimento neuro-motor do indivíduo, afetando a linguagem, interação social e cognição. O judô se torna benéfico para o adolescente com TEA por se ter melhoras na coordenação motora, no domínio corporal e na socialização. Objetivo: Compreender de que forma a prática do Judô pode contribuir na melhora da coordenação, flexibilidade e qualidade de vida em adolescentes com TEA. Método: Trata-se de uma revisão integrativa da literatura realizada a partir das bases de dados: PubMed, Scielo, portal Biblioteca Virtual de Saúde – BVS, onde utilizou-se o operador booleano AND e os seguintes descritores: „‟ Transtorno do Espectro Autista‟‟, „‟artes marciais‟‟, „‟Judo” em inglês e português. Como critério de inclusão: ensaios clínicos randomizados, nos idiomas inglês e português, publicado no período de 2016 a 2021 e que tinham como limite no estudo crianças e adolescentes (10- 19anos). Utilizaram-se como critérios de exclusão: estudo de casos, estudos com animais e os que não respondiam à pergunta norteadora. Os artigos foram selecionados conformerespondessem o objetivo da pesquisa pela análise dos resumos e leitura na íntegra. Resultados: Através das pesquisas foram observados pontos importantes em relação ao estudo de adolescentes com TEA., como o relato dos familiares, que afirmam que a interação social dos adolescentes após participarem das aulas é incentivada. Conclusão: Tendo em vista um aumento da população com TEA, surge à necessidade de estudos mais voltados a socialização e estímulos motores para evitar que esses jovens tenham sua qualidade de vida afetada. Contudo, foi chegado ao entendimento que crianças e adolescentes que frequentam locais onde o seu desenvolvimento cognitivo é estimulado tentem a ser mais sociáveis, adquirindo estímulos que podem reduzir os sintomas do TEA.
