The Effects of Tailored Judo Training and Nutritional Counseling on Physical Fitness and Body Composition in Children With Autism: A Study Including Blood Morphology and Genetic Analysis

The present research project aims to testing adapted judo training as a form of supportive developmental therapy, combined with nutritional counseling, to influence physical fitness, dietary habits, body composition, body stability, and blood morphology-while accounting for genetic polymorphisms-among children and adolescents with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) who possess functional communication skills and no diagnosed aphasia. The study hypothesizes that a therapeutic intervention consisting of adapted judo training integrated with nutritional guidance will significantly enhance the functional capacity of children and adolescents with ASD.
