This study investigated the impact of two types of physical exercise - cognitively engaging versus non-cognitively engaging, on self regulation in autistic children. The study found that both types of exercise significantly enhanced self-regulation, with the learning to ride a bicycle group showing significant improvements in executive functioning as well. The study also showed that the social, emotional, and physical needs of an individual mediated the exercise-executive function and exercise-self-regulation relationships.
The findings suggest that cognitively engaging exercise may be more beneficial than non-cognitively engaging exercise in enhancing cognition in autistic children.
