ARTICLE ANNOTATION

quote
This research article aims to provide an in-depth analysis of the mechanisms by which active games affect the physical (motor) and emotional state of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). ASD is typically characterized by social-communicative deficits and repetitive behaviors; however, in recent years, delays in motor skills among children with this diagnosis have also been recognized as a primary concern. The study investigates the therapeutic significance of targeted physical activity and specially designed active games not only in developing the musculoskeletal system but also in improving emotional regulation, stress management, and social adaptation. The article presents the experimental results of a 12-week active games program, demonstrating improvements in gross motor skill indicators and a reduction in emotional instability. The findings serve as a basis for developing practical recommendations for physical education specialists, special educators, and parents on applying effective approaches in an inclusive educational environment.
