Abstract
Sports interventions addressing physical and mental development in children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) are becoming increasingly prominent in recent years. This review examines whether sports intervention for children with ASD effectively promote growth and development in executive function and social cognition, and whether explicitly targeting those areas of development while devising interventions can optimize the impacts. Reviewing 13 existing studies, it is supported that sports intervention positively impacts executive function and social cognition among children with ASD, with individual interventions targeting more on executive function and collaborative interventions targeting more on social cognition. These conclusions may shed light on the relationship between sports intervention and its intended targets on children with ASD, while encouraging improvements in current interventions and designs of more target-oriented types of interventions.
