Abstract

The
aim of this research is to examine the effect of motorized development of
individualized exercise training that is regularly applied to autistic
individuals. The study included 10 boys with an average age of 11.7 (±1,9)
who were educated at the Agir Vivre L'autisme school in Paris and 18 boys and 2
women with an average age of 13 (±2,9)
who were educated at the Izmit Autism Sports Club Association in Kocaeli. It
covers a total of 30 children. The practice lasted eight week, five days a week
and two hours a day. Wilcoxon test, which is a nonparametric test, was applied
to the obtained data after descriptive statistical procedures (mean, standard
deviation) in the SPSS 21.0 package program. The meaning level was taken as
0.01. A statistically significant difference was found between the
pretest-posttest results of all the parameters of the study group (p <0.01).
As a result of this research, it can be stated that the physical activity
program which is applied regularly, systematically and correctly to the children
with autism makes an important contribution to the development of the
children's motor.
