“…As explained in previous studies, the strength training exercises seem to lead to specific neural adaptations that probably result in better recruitment and more synchronized discharge of the different motor units, and in improved motor units coordination (Delecluse, 1997;Gabriel et al, 2006). Similar to our findings, others have reported that physical training combining both strength and proprioceptive exercises enhanced lower limb strength in children (Kachouri et al, 2016) and adolescents (Borji et al, 2023) with intellectual disability. In children with ASD, others also showed that physical activity intervention improved muscular strength (Pan et al, 2017;Yilmaz et al, 2004).…”

In this study, we explored the immediate and three-month follow-up effects of physical training on physical fitness in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). We randomly assigned 20 children with ASD (age 8–11 years) into an experimental group (EG; n = 10) and a control group (CG; n = 10). The EG participated in an 8-week training program involving both strength and proprioceptive exercises (three 60-minute sessions/week), while the CG simply maintained their daily activities. We assessed physical fitness components for each participant at baseline, post-training, and at a 3-month follow-up. The physical training intervention significantly improved physical fitness of these children with ASD in terms of their flexibility ( p < .001; 32.46%), lower limbs strength ( p = .003; 36.98%), lower body power ( p < .001; 41.78%) and functional mobility ( p < .001; 25.56%). However, these addition training-induced gains were lost at follow-up for lower limbs strength ( p < .001), flexibility ( p < .001), and functional mobility ( p = .034)). Physical training was effective for improving physical fitness in children with ASD, but the loss of these gains at three months follow-up underscored the need for continuous physical exercise.

“…This selection is motivated by the increased fall risk observed in older adults during concurrent tasks, such as walking while engaging in other cognitive or motor activities. Considering that daily life entails a wide range of dual- and multi-tasks, interventions that positively impact cognitive and functional outcomes are imperative for older individuals at a heightened risk of clinical-functional vulnerability [ 12 ].…”

Background Despite the robust body of evidence for the benefits of home-based physical exercise, there is still a paucity of data on the benefits of home-based cognitive training for older adults, especially in those at increased risk of clinical-functional vulnerability. As such, the present study aims to compare the chronic effects of a telehealth-delivered physical training intervention alone or combined with a cognitive training program in older adults at increased clinical-functional vulnerability risk. Methods A randomized clinical trial will be conducted including 62 sedentary older individuals classified as at increased risk of clinical-functional vulnerability based on their Clinical-Functional Vulnerability Index score. Participants will be randomly allocated in a 1:1 ratio to one of two groups, an intervention group including physical training combined with cognitive training, or an active control group including physical training alone. Both groups will receive home-based supervised training remotely for 12 weeks and will be assessed for the primary and secondary outcomes of the study before and after the training period. Primary outcomes include cognitive function and dynamic balance with a dual task. Secondary outcomes encompass physical, cognitive, and occupational performance, functional capacity, quality of life, and anxiety and depression symptoms, as well as hemodynamic measures. Data analysis will be performed by intention-to-treat and per protocol using mixed linear models and Bonferroni’s post hoc (α = 0.05). Discussion Our conceptual hypothesis is that both groups will show improvements in the primary and secondary outcomes. Nevertheless, we expect physical combined with cognitive training to improve cognitive function, dual task, and occupational performance to a greater degree as compared to physical training alone.
