I will be glad to hear from you
Running is a cyclical exercise consisting of separate repetitive cycles that form a single flow of movements, which differs from walking in the presence of a"flight phase". It includes the main muscle groups and internal organs. When a child can run-training takes on a completely different look and you can train endurance, speed qualities and agility in full.
Running is probably one of the most difficult types of movement to train in terms of technical performance for children with ASD. Running creates a high load on the cardiovascular, respiratory system of a person and joints, and improper running-even more so. It is necessary to take into account the child's disorders and determine whether he needs running at this stage. For example, for children with obesity or those children who walk on their toes and run in the same way, it is better to limit running.
The reasons for the wrong running technique can be many: incorrect distribution of muscle tone, incessant self-stimulation, problems with self-control, excess weight, etc.
Therefore, we can meet such features of children with autism:
1. The lack of rhythm, a single pace of movement.
2. There is no coordination of the movements of the hands and feet.
3. The palms are not clenched into fists, the hands are swinging in different directions.
4. The head is not fixed, deviates from the axis, "dangles" in different directions, or may be fixed in an unnatural position.
5. Bouncing instead of cyclical alternate leg movements.
6. Shuffling, no "flight phase".
7. Running with frequent transitions to a step, difficulties with long running.
8. Running on your toes.
9. No holding of a smooth trajectory of movement.
How to teach running to children with ASD?
1. Identify the causes of violations of the technique, understand what prevents the child and start from this (find individual means of correction for each).
2. Determine the dosage based on the child's heart rate.
3. Select the manual-key, with which you can adjust the technique.
4. Break the movement into blocks and determine the primary tasks that you want from the child-the collected palms in a fist and pressed to the trunk or the support on the heel or the high lifting of the hip, and start teaching the child the instructions and actions necessary at this stage.
5. Set the running rhythm.
6. Start running in short segments, with a physical hint, following the teacher, alternating with walking.
7. For children with ADHD (they usually run well), we teach them to run along landmarks, from point A to point B, etc.
8. Mechanically correct running is not enough, complex training of coordination and speed-strength abilities over time will have a positive result on the running technique.
