It was a Randomized Clinical Trial.Data will be collected from Life care rehabilitation and special child facility.The study was completed within 6 months after approval of synopsis.The
calculated sample size, through WHO sample size calculator, using Bruininks- Oseretsky test's mean and standard deviation (Mean Dynamic Balance) as outcome
measure was 20 in each group. After adding 10% dropout the sample size will be 20+4=24 in each group; hence, overall sample size n= 20. Age range 5-12 years. Children with diagnosed Autism and age ranges between 5-12 will be included in the study.Convenient Sampling Technique was used to collect the data.There was two groups.In Group A SPARK therapy will be provided and in group 2 fundamental motor skill training will be provided. To assess the social skills Gilliam Autism Rating Scale-Second Edition (GARS-2) and for motor skills Bruininkse Oseretsky test of motor proficiency (BOTMP) was used.
Autism Spectrum Disorder affects the social communication and fundamental motor skills of children. The current study will evaluate the effects of sports play and active recreation for kids (SPARK) versus fundamental motor skill training on social and motor skills in children with Autism spectrum disorder. It was a Randomized Clinical Trial.Data will be collected from Life care rehabilitation and special child facility.The study was completed within 6 months after approval of synopsis.The
calculated sample size, through WHO sample size calculator, using Bruininks- Oseretsky test's mean and standard deviation (Mean Dynamic Balance) as outcome

To assess the social skills Gilliam Autism Rating Scale-Second Edition (GARS-2) and for motor skills Bruininkse Oseretsky test of motor proficiency (BOTMP) was used. Analysis was carried out on SPSS version 27.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| SPARK | Experimental | The SPARK is an evidence based plan designed to improve health-related well-being and to maintain the positive socialization and enjoyment of physical activities or academic achievements.(4) The SPARK discipline is in line with NASPE (National Association of Sport and PE) guidelines. A standard SPARK lesson will be delivered in two parts: a health fitness activity and a skill-fitness activity. In the health fitness activity part, there will be 13 activities that include aerobic dance, running games and jump ropes. In this part, the main focus will be on developing cardiovascular endurance and promotion by modifying the intensity, duration and complexity of the activities. The activities will be mostly aimed to develop abdominal and upper body strength. |
|
| Fundamental Motor training | Experimental | In terms of motor development, fundamental motor skills (FMS, e.g., locomotor and object manipulation)-such as running, jumping, throwing, and kicking-are considered the essential building blocks for further, more complex gross motor movement. (24) There will be 13 FMS activities including; running, jumping, Gallop, hopping, side gliding, skipping, leaping, catching, stationary dribbles, kicking, striking a stationary ball, overarm throw and underarm throw. FMS group will receive 30 sessions for 10 weeks (3 sessions per week, 60 min per session including CPT). |
