Yaru Hao; Rizal Razman – International Journal of Developmental Disabilities, 2024
Background: While socioeconomic status (SES) has been shown to be an important determinant of sedentary behaviour (SB) and moderate-to-vigorous intensity physical activity (MVPA) in typically developing children, similar data on those with intellectual disability (ID) are lacking. This study explored the association of SES with SB and MVPA among…

Van Camp, Carole M.; Batchelder, Sydney R.; Irwin Helvey, Casey – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2022
Children should engage in 1 hr/day of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) that results in increased heart rates (HRs) (CDC, 2022). However, precise individualized HR criteria for MVPA are not provided, and it is unclear whether observed behaviors classified as MVPA are associated with elevated HRs indicative of MVPA. The current study…

Sarah L. Taylor; Samantha J. Downs; James R. Rudd; Bronagh McGrane; Craig A. Melville; Arlene M. McGarty; Lynne M. Boddy; Lawrence Foweather – Journal of Intellectual Disabilities, 2024
Motor competence is important for lifelong physical activity (PA). The current study aimed to examine associations between PA and motor competence. In total, 43 children aged 7--12 years with intellectual disabilities and/or autism spectrum disorder completed anthropometric measures, the Bruininks-Oseretsky Test of Motor Proficiency-2, and wore a…

Fröberg, Andreas – Physical Educator, 2022
From a health promotion perspective, schools are ideal settings for the promotion of physical activity since virtually all children and youth can be reached. Physical education is mandatory in many countries and offers unique opportunities for the promotion of physical activity among children and youth. However, since physical education represents…

Prochnow, Tyler; Patterson, Megan S.; Bridges Hamilton, Christina N.; Umstattd Meyer, M. Renée – Health Education & Behavior, 2022
Summer is a time of reduced physical activity (PA) for children; however, summer care programs (SCPs) can provide opportunities for children to be active and foster friendships. This study investigated associations between PA and friendship formation at SCPs. Children (ages 8-12 years) from two SCPs reported demographics, PA, and up to five…

Elkhatib Smidt, Stacey D.; Gooneratne, Nalaka; Brodkin, Edward S.; Bucan, Maja; Mitchell, Jonathan A. – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2022
Emerging evidence suggests that physical activity may be associated with improved sleep in autistic children. We aimed to determine whether physical activity associated with sufficient sleep duration in children and whether this association was modified by reported autism spectrum disorder (ASD) status. We analyzed existing data of children 6-17…

Wouters, Marieke; Evenhuis, Heleen M.; Hilgenkamp, Thessa I. M. – Journal of Applied Research in Intellectual Disabilities, 2019
Background: Regular participation of children and adolescents with intellectual disabilites in physical activity is important to maintain good health and to acquire motor skills. The aim of this study was to investigate the habitual physical activity in these children. Methods: Sixty-eight children and adolescents (2-18 years) with a…

Brown, Denver M.; Arbour-Nicitopoulos, Kelly P.; Martin Ginis, Kathleen A.; Latimer-Cheung, Amy E.; Bassett-Gunter, Rebecca L. – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2020
Children and youth with autism spectrum disorder engage in less physical activity than neurotypically developing peers. This may be due to factors associated with autism spectrum disorder at the individual and environmental level that can make physical activity participation more challenging. Parent support is a known determinant of physical…

Doloma, Dimitra; Kambas, Antonios; Aggeloussis, Nikolaos; Michalopoulou, Maria – International Journal of Instruction, 2020
The purpose of the present study was to examine: a. the development of primary school students' motor coordination (MC) within three years, b. gender as a crucial factor of this development, c. the relationship between MC and Body Mass Index (BMI). Students' performances as well as the BMI of 20 boys and 22 girls were measured throughout a…

Martin, Eric M.; True, Larissa; Pfeiffer, Karin A.; Siegel, Shannon R.; Branta, Crystal F.; Wisner, Dave; Haubenstricker, John; Seefeldt, Vern – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2021
Research tracking sport participation from youth to adulthood is relatively rare, as is research that tracks youth sport participation with regard to adult physical activity (PA) levels, especially in the United States. Aims of this study were: 1) To investigate the degree to which sport participation tracked across youth, adolescence, and early…

Salvador-GarcÍa, Celina; Santágueda-Villanueva, MarÍa; Valverde-Esteve, Teresa; Chiva-Bartoll, Óscar – International Journal of Disability, Development and Education, 2022
This study aims to analyse the Physical Activity (PA) levels of a group of children with ASD and explore certain socio-ecological variables that may be correlated with these levels. The participants of this cross-sectional study were 20 boys and 5 girls with ASD, aged between 4 and 14 years. A socio-demographic questionnaire was designed expressly…

Mayes, Susan D.; Seebeck, Jyssica; Waschbusch, Daniel A. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2022
Relationships between sluggish cognitive tempo (SCT) and age and IQ were investigated in children with autism and/or ADHD covering broader age and IQ ranges than in previous studies. Mothers rated 1436 children with autism and 1,056 with ADHD (2-17 years, IQs 9-149) on Pediatric Behavior Scale SCT items. Increasing age correlated with SCT in the…

Jeffery L. Hart; David Phillips – Journal of the American Academy of Special Education Professionals, 2020
Children with ADHD are often described as experiencing deficits in executive function. Two key areas of concern are inhibition, the ability to refrain from a dominant response when needed, and updating, the ability to revise or update incoming information. The purpose of this manuscript is to combine disparate lines of research to help establish a…
