Methods: All participants had been diagnosed with ASD and were assessed twice, one time at the start of the intervention and again 6 months later, with the Test of Gross Motor Development (TGMD-3) and the Gilliam Autism Rating Scale-Third Edition (GARS-3). A one-way repeated measures MANOVA was carried out in order to evaluate these assessments, and a mediation analysis was done to determine the relationship between them. Results: The experimental group significantly improved (p < 0.05) from the pre-test to the post-test for several subtests of the TGMD-3 and the GARS-3. Conclusion: The study shows that participation in an adapted judo program clearly helps to improve the motor skills and psychosocial behaviors of children with ASD. http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14342/4767 https://doi.org/10.3389/fpsyg.2022.1067310 Esports de combat Judo Esports per a persones amb discapacitat Discapacitat intel·lectual Autisme Improving motor skills and psychosocial behaviors in children with autism spectrum disorder through an adapted judo program
