“…Physical activity and nutritional pattern can positively affect the immune system and production of white blood cells [8,9], but recent studies have had contradictory results; some have suggested that high-intensity physical activity can increase the level of inflammatory indicators, while others have shown no effect [10][11][12][13]. This clinical trial aims to investigate the effects of 8 weeks of functional training and online nutrition education on inflammatory biomarkers in children with ASD aged 8-12 years during the Covid-19 pandemic in Tehran, Iran.…”

Background and Objectives Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neuro-developmental disorder which is mostly caused by deficits in social interactions. Lack of physical activity and poor nutritional habits are common problems in these patients which may be exaggerated by the Covid-19 pandemic. The study aims to assess the effect of functional training along with online nutrition education on inflammatory biomarkers in children with ASD. Subjects and Methods In this randomized controlled clinical trial, 80 children with ASD (age=9.73±1.29 years, weight=49.94±2.08 kg, height=146.08±40 cm, body mass index=24.71 ±1.48 kg/m2) were randomly divided into four groups of training, education, training+ education, and control. The interventions lasted for 8 weeks. The inflammatory biomarkers including white blood cell (WBC) count, C-reactive protein (CRP) level, neutrophil count, eosinophil count, and basophil count were assessed (using blood samples collected from antecubital vein) before and after the interventions. Results There was no significant difference between the groups before the interventions (P˃0.05). After the intervention, the results showed a significant decrease in WBC (P˂0.001), CRP (P=0.001), neutrophils (sig.=0.009), and eosinophil (P=0.003) in all groups. Basophil count decreased in all groups (P=0.01) except in the education group. Conclusion Functional training and online nutrition education are beneficial interventions for management of inflammatory biomarkers in children with ASD which can be used during the Covid-19 pandemic.

This study examined the effect of two different follow-ups of a plyometric program on improving speed and explosive strength. Thus, the purpose of this study is to identify the 12-week effect of the plyometric program on the development of speed and explosive strength in adolescents. The research was conducted on a sample of 195 male adolescent participants aged 15 years ± 6 months, who were divided into two groups, the first group of the plyometric group (PG) 90 adolescents s participated in plyometric training sessions three times a week for 12 weeks, while the control group (CG) 105 adolescents only attended their regular lessons in Physical Education. Tests of study: sprint (S) 30 m speed; S80 m speed; S100 m speed; Standing long jump; Standing triple jump; Vertical Jump. The results presented between the measurement pre- and post-plyometric program in the group (PG) have resulted in favor of this group over the control group (CG), and it has also been identified that there are significant differences in the indicators of speed and explosive strength at the level (p < 0.05). In conclusion, a 12-week plyometric program has shown significant increases in speed and explosive strength indicators in teenagers, and the same model can be used in elite athletes.
