مستخلص: A recent study conducted by Southwest University in Chongqing, China, explored the effects of a 12-week aquatic exercise intervention on executive function (EF) and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) levels in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The study found that the experimental group, which underwent the aquatic exercise intervention, showed significant improvements in inhibition control, cognitive flexibility, and BDNF levels. However, working memory did not significantly improve. The control group, which engaged in supervised free activities, did not show any significant changes in EF or BDNF levels. The researchers concluded that aquatic exercise may be a beneficial intervention for cognitive development in children with ASD, and the improvements in EF may be associated with increased BDNF levels.
