Abstract

Combat sports, ball sports, neurodevelopmental motor training, and aquatic exercise may be effective exercise modalities for improving symptoms in children and adolescents with developmental disorders. However, the degree of improvement can vary among individuals with specific developmental disorders. Therefore, precise assessment of the individual symptoms of children or adolescents is crucial before selecting specific exercise interventions. PROSPERO (CRD42024545673). • Many studies indicate that exercise as an intervention can have positive effects on individuals with developmental disorders, such as ADHD and autism. However, reported effects vary, and there is no clear consensus on the optimal exercise intervention method yet. • Through a comprehensive network meta-analysis, various exercise interventions for children and adolescents with developmental disorders were compared to determine the optimal approach. The study found that combat sports, ball sports, neurodevelopmental motor training, and aquatic exercise could potentially be effective modalities for improving symptoms in this population.
