This quasi-experimental feasibility study investigated the effects of the Sports Stars Brasil (SSB) intervention on adolescents with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Eighteen adolescents participated in the group intervention of SSB, which consisted of eight weekly sessions lasting one hour each. The results showed improvements in goals related to motor skills and participation established in the Goal Attainment Scaling (GAS), as well as in physical literacy, physical fitness, and motor skills. The study concluded that SSB was feasible and promoted improvements in these areas. [Extracted from the article]
