简要总结
This randomized controlled trial will investigate the effectiveness of a 12-week, five-component multimodal intervention on executive function in children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). A total of 112 participants aged 4–18 years will be randomly assigned to either an intervention or a wait-list control group. 65 children without ASD will also be recruited as a healthy control group. The program integrates yoga, aerobic exercise, strengthening, neurocognitive tasks, and music-based mindfulness. Primary outcomes include executive function measures, while secondary outcomes assess social responsiveness and autism-related behaviors at baseline, 12, and 24 weeks.
