Abstract

People with Autism Spectrum Disorder (DFS) have deficits in social skills, speech and communication, stereotypical behaviors, sensory and motor problems and limited interests (Worley & Matson, 2012; Hanley et al., 2011). According to research, the developmental sensory and kinetic disorder in children with DWD is a fundamental link for the understanding of WHO characteristics (Craig & Whyatt, 2013). Children with DFS, from infantile age, exhibit unnecessary repetitive movements, motor dexterity, walking in the toes, other walking disorders, unusual postures, and subdued or increased joint mobility (Shetreat-Klein et al., 2014). The causes appear to be due to factors such as the particular pathophysiology of body function and movement mechanisms in these children (Ming et al., 2007; Rapin, 1996). Other factors influencing the activity of children with PFS are the different cardiac response (Pace & Bricout, 2015), the presence of stereotypical behaviors, the difficulty in social inclusion and the creation of social bonds (Pan, 2009), factors contributing to prolongation Of sedentary life often leading to obesity (Must et al., 2014). Studies (Tyler et al., 2014), which examined the degree of physical activity, showed that children with PMS have less physical strength and resistance and are less active than standard physical development. They presented moderate to intense physical activity but devoted more time to sedentary behavior (Rosser-Sandt & Frey, 2005; Pan & Frey, 2006; Pan, 2009; Bandini et al., 2013).
