Abstract

With the emergence of physical fitness training (PFT), it is mainly used for adult fitness activities, while children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) (a special group) are ignored. In this paper, we studied the influence of fitness training on the level of autism disorder and intestinal flora (IF) of autistic children through six weeks of fitness training intervention, so as to observe the changes in the level of autism and the diversity and richness of IF. From the results of PFT intervention, we know that the scores of ATEC, CARS, SRS and CBCL of ASD children were significantly reduced, the ace index, shannon index and chao index of the experimental group (EG) were significantly increased (P<0.01), and the simpson index was significantly decreased (P<0.01). In the data after intervention, the intestinal bacterial flora abundance level of EG was not significantly different from that of the control group (CG).
