Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
Social interaction. Timepoint: At the beginning of the study (before the intervention) and eight weeks after the start of the exercise program. Method of measurement: Gilliam Autism Test (GARZ).;Physical fitness Indices ( Anthropometric tests, cardiopulmonary endurance, leg and trunk explosive power, hand muscle strength, flexibility, static balance, agility, hand grip strength, coordination). Timepoint: At the beginning of the study (before the intervention) and eight weeks after the start of the exercise program. Method of measurement: For anthropometric evaluation, height and weight were measured by meters and scales. Body mass index was calculated by dividing weight (kg) by height squared (m2). Evaluation of cardiorespiratory fitness (20-meter shuttle run test), explosive power (sergeant test), trunk explosive power (medical ball throwing test), static balance (strok test), agility (T test), hand grip strength (hand dynamometer), flexibility (Wells test) and coordination of the Nelson selective response motor test were used.	—
