Psychological support in adaptive physical culture: The impact of physical activity on the emotional state and self-esteem of children with ASD
Psychological support in adaptive physical culture: The impact of physical activity on the emotional state and self-esteem of children with ASD
Adaptive physical education (AFC) plays a key role not only in strengthening the physical health of children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD), but also in supporting their psychological well-being. The inclusion of regular physical activity in the lives of these children can significantly improve their emotional state and self-esteem, which, in turn, has a positive effect on their overall development and socialization.

The effect of physical activity on the emotional state
Studies show that regular physical exercise has a positive effect on the psychological state of children with ASD, reducing anxiety and depression. Physical activity stimulates the production of endorphins — "hormones of happiness", which improves mood and overall well-being. In addition, exercising helps to reduce stress levels, improve sleep and increase concentration.

Developing self-esteem through AFC
Adaptive physical education also plays an important role in the development of self-esteem in children with ASD. Successes and achievements in sports exercises and games contribute to the formation of a child's sense of pride and satisfaction from his own achievements. It is important that the AFC pays special attention to setting individual goals and objectives achievable for each child, which allows him to feel the joy of success and strengthen self-confidence.

Psychological support in AFC
Psychological support in adaptive physical culture is not limited to physical exercises. It also includes working to establish positive interaction between the coach and the child, as well as between children in the group. Creation

a safe, supportive and inclusive environment during classes helps to strengthen social ties and develop communication skills, which, in turn, has a positive effect on the emotional state of children.

AFC coaches and specialists use various methods to build effective communication, such as visual cues, structured activities and social interaction games that help children with ASD feel more confident and comfortable in a group environment.

Individual approach in AFC
Special attention in adaptive physical culture is paid to the individualization of the approach. Programs and exercises are selected taking into account the unique physical abilities, interests and needs of each child. This approach not only promotes more effective physical development, but also takes into account emotional and psychological aspects, giving children with ASD the opportunity to feel involved and valuable participants in the process.

Conclusions
Adaptive physical education is a powerful psychological support tool for children with autism spectrum disorders. It not only improves physical health, but also has a significant positive effect on the emotional state, self-esteem and social adaptation of children. It is important to continue to develop and implement AFC programs, making them accessible to all children with ASD to help them reach their potential and improve their quality of life.

In conclusion, support and attention to the psychological well-being of children in the process of adaptive physical education are key to achieving significant success not only in sports, but also in life in general.
