Table 1_Effectiveness of exercise interventions on gross motor skills in children with aut

A systematic review and meta-analysis of 16 studies involving 493 children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). The data, compiled by Mengyao Feng and published on figshare in March 2026, evaluates the effectiveness of different exercise types and dosages on gross motor skills. Results include standardized mean differences for balance, locomotor, and object control skills.

Use Cases

• Compare the effect sizes of land-based versus aquatic sports on motor skills based on the subgroup analysis results.
• Analyze the relationship between intervention duration and skill improvement based on the dosage thresholds (e.g., ≤1440 minutes).
• Validate meta-analytic findings on gross motor skill domains (balance, locomotor, object control) using the provided effect sizes and confidence intervals.

Strengths

• Includes data from 16 studies with a total of 493 participants, providing a quantitative synthesis.
• Reports specific effect sizes (SMD) and 95% confidence intervals for three distinct gross motor skill domains.
• Contains subgroup analysis results comparing different exercise types (Land-based, Aquatic) and intervention dosages.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The dataset is small (13.6 KB), indicating it contains summary statistics rather than raw trial data.
