Purpose of Review <p>This review integrates recent findings from randomized controlled clinical trial (RCT) research examining the impacts of physical exercise activities on various aspects and areas of functioning for autistic individuals.</p> Recent Findings <p>Recent meta-analytic and clinical trials research indicates physical exercise intervention programs improve social and communication skills for autistic children and adolescents, improve executive functioning skills for autistic children, improve sleep-related behavior for autistic children and adolescents, and may be helpful for improving physical health for autistic children. There is very limited RCT research evidence on exercise intervention approaches or impacts for autistic adults, for autistic girls or women, for autistic people with co-occurring intellectual disability, and for reducing negative emotional symptoms (e.g., anxiety, depression) for any autistic population.</p> Summary <p>The extant clinical trials research provides convincing, consistent evidence for positive impacts of physical exercise programs on multiple areas of functioning for autistic children and adolescents. Additional research is needed to determine and ensure potential impacts of physical exercise activity programs for important autistic sub-populations, including adults.</p>
