Abstract:
|
The public health lockdown prompted by the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic,
which included school closures that may have potentially serious consequences for people with
disabilities or special educational needs, disrupted an ongoing adapted judo training intervention
in children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). The purpose of this study was to compare
repetitive behaviours, social interaction, social communication, emotional responses, cognitive style
and maladaptive speech scores across four time-points: baseline, after an eight-week control period,
after an eight-week judo intervention and after an eight-week lockdown period due to COVID-19.
The sample consisted of 11 children diagnosed with ASD according to the criteria of the Diagnostic
and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders—Fifth Edition (DSM-V), with an intelligence quotient
(IQ) range between 60 and 70. Significant improvements were shown following the judo intervention
period compared to the baseline and control periods. However, the same values significantly declined
during the COVID-19 lockdown period resulting in values lower than those recorded at baseline, and
following the control period and the judo intervention. The decline in psychosocial and behavioural
scores are likely due to the stress caused by the sudden halt in activity and the increase in sedentary
practices associated with the lockdown. |
