Volume 0, Issue 0 (Accepted article 2024)
Abstract
Objective: A neuro-developmental illness, autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a collection of intricate neurological conditions marked by challenges with social interaction and communication as well as reluctance to change. The purpose of this research was to examine the effects of a particular bundle of physical exercises and remedial games on the motor abilities of kids diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder.
Materials & Methods: In the Iranian regions of Rasht, N = 36 boys with autism spectrum disorder were included in an experimental investigation using random selection. Three groups of twelve boys each were used in the sample for the intervention, which included a control group, a package of physical exercises, and a selection of corrective games. Oseretsky Bruininks Upper-limb coordination as well as gross and fine motor abilities were assessed using the Test of Motor Proficiency (BOT-2). Using SPSS version 23 software, the analysis of variance statistical test was used for the statistical analysis.
Results: The findings demonstrated that after a period of specific remedial games and physical exercises, the mean gross motor abilities considerably improved (P=0.01). Additionally, there was a significant difference in upper limb coordination (P=0.03), gross and fine motor skill total (P=0.02), and fine motor skill differences (P=0.03) between the two training groups.
Conclusion: The study's findings indicated that both programs had a positive impact on the motor abilities of youngsters diagnosed with autism spectrum condition. Furthermore, the findings indicated that the physical exercise program used in this study has shown significant impacts on the motor abilities of children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder, in comparison to the chosen corrective games. According to the findings of this study, the researcher recommends the physical training program introduced in this research as an appropriate regimen for enhancing the motor abilities of individuals with autism spectrum condition.
 
The Effect of a “Selected Exercise Training” on Reducing Symptoms of Dementia Caused by Alzheimer's Disease in People with Down Syndrome
Zahra Sarlak, Asghar Dadkhah, Ali Kashi, Mahmood Sheikh,
Volume 11, Issue 2 (April 2013)
Abstract

Objectives: The aim of the study was to determine the effect of a selected exercise training on reducing symptoms of dementia caused by Alzheimer's disease in people with Down syndrome.

Methods: 27 men with Down syndrome were randomized to intervention (n=13) and control (n=13) groups. All persons in experimental group followed 12 weeks selected exercise training, three times a week. Prior to the start of the study, and after three-month training, each member in both groups was assessed according to the DSQIID questionnaire filled by caregivers of these peoples. Data were analysed by independent t-test.

Results: The results indicated that the first questionnaire subscales that assess memory disorders and confusion in the experimental group between pre and post test showed a significant decrease (P=0.028). Also in third part of questionnaire that asked about the individual skills, social withdrawal, physical symptoms and speech abnormalities, the variable scores in post-test of experimental group were significantly lower than pre-test scores (P=0.047).

Discussion: These result showed that the combination of selected exercises training could cause a significant reduction in the incidence of initial dementia symptoms and can be an important step to prevent of the dementia in these people.


The Effect of “Kashi Practices” on the Improvement of Psycho-Motor Skills in People with Down Syndrome
Ali Kashi, Mahmoud Sheikh, Asghar Dadkhah, Rasool Hemayattalab, Elaheh Arabameri,
Volume 13, Issue 3 (September 2015)
Abstract

Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of “Kashi practices” on the improvement of psycho-motor skills in people with Down syndrome.

Methods: In this research, 28 men with Down syndrome between 21 and 43 years of age (mean age 25.917±3.889) were randomly assigned to either a control (n=14) or an experimental group (n=14). All persons in the experimental group followed 12 weeks of selected exercise training (Kashi practices) three times a week. Prior to the start of the study, and after the three-month training period, each member in both groups was assessed according to the Bruininks Oseretsky Test of Motor Proficiency (BOTMP).

Results: The results indicated that Kashi practices could cause a significant improvement in psycho-motor skills in several variables such as strength, endurance, power, agility, reaction time, balance and running speed in the experimental group (P<0.05). These changes were not significant in control group (P>0.05) in any compression.

Discussion: These results showed that Kashi practices could cause a significant improvement in psycho-motor skills and can be an important step to improve physical fitness, physical activity and quality of life in people with Down syndrome.


The Relationships Between Some Physical Fitness Factors and Muscle Damage in People With Intellectual Disabilities
Hojjatollah Siavoshi, Hamid Agha Alinejad, Ali Kashi, Mohammad Ali Samavati Sharif, Masoumeh Helalizadeh,
Volume 18, Issue 2 (June 2020)
Abstract
Objectives: The physical component of tasks can be a problem because of muscle weakness; therefore, this research was performed to investigate the relationships between some physical fitness factors and muscle damage enzyme levels in people with mild Intellectual Disabilities (ID).
Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 314 students with ID (Body Mass Index [BMI]: 23.42±4.84 kg/m2), after measuring their anthropometric variables (height, weight, and BMI), performed the Canadian Standardized Test of Fitness (CSTF). This test includes flexibility (sit and reach test), muscle endurance (Push-ups and Sit-ups tests), muscle strength (Hand-grip test), and cardiorespiratory endurance (Canada Home Fitness test). Then saliva samples were collected from 20 subjects who were homogeneous for age (Mean±SD: 20.30±2.27 years), sex (male only), and type of ID, for measuring their saliva levels of Creatine Phosphate Kinase (CPK), Lactate Dehydrogenase (LDH), and C-reactive Protein (CRP). Data were analyzed by the Pearson correlation coefficient and linear and nonlinear regressions (P<0.05). 
Results: The findings indicated significant relationships between some of the physical fitness factors and some enzymes of muscle damage (P<0.05). The results indicated significant relationships between CPK, with push-ups, sit-ups, and hand-grip strength, as well as between the LDH with push-ups and CRP with sit-ups and hand-grip strength (P<0.05).
Discussion: According to the results of the present research, CPK, LDH, and CRP saliva levels in males with an ID have a significant relationship with some of the physical fitness components. Also, the results of the present research have provided equations for estimating CPK, LDH, and CRP saliva levels through CSTF battery test scores in people who have an educable ID.
