Title: Exergames for the development of executive function in children with Autism Spectrum Disorders: A systematic review
Abstract: This systematic review of the literature aims to assess the effects of Exergames on executive functions in children with Autistic Spectrum Disorders to (a) highlight and infer possible didactic and methodological implications for teachers and (b) draw up inclusive and adapted physical activity programmes involving the use of technologies. The bibliographic search has previewed, using the model PRISMA, the consultation of the following databases: SPORT Discuss, Pubmed, Scopus and Web of Science. The results showed the general improvement of executive functions – attention, working memory, inhibitory control and cognitive flexibility – motor performance – muscle strength, reaction speed and coordination, with improvement of the fine motility of the limbs – and the reduction of repetitive and involuntary behaviors. Future research could include medium to long-term studies to assess the effectiveness of Exergames-based intervention protocols on executive functions, and the possible impacts on the general health status and quality of life in children and adolescents with Autism Spectrum Disorders, so as to design specific educational interventions and orient health welfare policies.

Title: Il contributo degli Exergames per lo sviluppo delle funzioni esecutive dei bambini con disturbi dello spettro autistico: Revisione sistematica della letteratura
Abstract: La presente revisione sistematica della letteratura ha l'obiettivo di valutare gli effetti degli Exergames sulle funzioni esecutive in bambini con Disturbi dello Spettro Autistico, al fine di (a) evidenziare e dedurre possibili implicazioni didattiche e metodologiche per gli insegnanti e (b) progettare interventi didattici di attività fisica inclusivi e adattati che prevedano l'utilizzo delle tecnologie. La ricerca bibliografica ha previsto, utilizzando il modello PRISMA, la consultazione delle seguenti banche dati: SPORT Discuss, Pubmed, Scopus e Web of Science. I risultati hanno evidenziato il miglioramento generale delle funzioni esecutive – attenzione, memoria di lavoro, controllo inibitorio e flessibilità cognitiva – delle prestazioni motorie – forza muscolare, velocità di reazione e coordinazione, con il miglioramento della motricità fine degli arti – e la riduzione dei comportamenti ripetitivi e involontari. Indirizzi di ricerca futuri potrebbero prevedere studi condotti nel mediolungo termine, al fine di valutare l'efficacia di protocolli di intervento basati sugli Exergames sulle funzioni esecutive, e le possibili ricadute sullo stato di salute generale e sulla qualità della vita in bambini e adolescenti con Disturbi dello Spettro Autistico, in modo tale da progettare interventi didattici specifici ed orientare le politiche di salute e welfare.

Title: La contribution des exermas pour le développement des fonctions exécutives des enfants atteints de troubles du spectre autistique: révision systématique de la littérature
Abstract: Cette révision systématique de la littérature vise à évaluer les effets des exegames sur les fonctions exécutives chez les enfants souffrant de troubles du spectre autistique, afin de (a) mettre en évidence et déduire des implications éventuelles d'enseignement et méthodologiques pour les enseignants et (b) la conception d'interventions didactiques inclusives et adaptées d'activité physique qui impliquent l'utilisation des technologies.La recherche bibliographique a fourni, en utilisant le modèle PRISMA, la consultation des bases de données suivantes: Sport Disking, PubMed, Scopus et Web of Science.Les résultats ont mis en évidence l'amélioration générale des fonctions exécutives - attention, mémoire de travail, contrôle inhibiteur et flexibilité cognitive - des performances motrices - force musculaire, réaction et vitesse de coordination, avec l'amélioration de la fin des membres des membres - et la réduction des comportements répétitifs et involontaires.Les futures adresses de recherche pourraient inclure des études menées dans le terme MedioLungo, afin d'évaluer l'efficacité des protocoles d'intervention basés sur les exégames sur les fonctions exécutives, et les répercussions possibles sur l'état général de la santé et sur la qualité de vie chez les enfants et les adolescents avec des troubles du spectre autistique, afin de concevoir des interventions didactiques et des politiques de santé orientées spécifiques.
