Vigorous , aerobic exercise versus general motor training activities : effects on maladaptive and stereotypic behaviors of adults with both autism and mental retardation . Examined the effects of antecedent exercise conditions on maladaptive and stereotypic behaviors in 6 adults with both autism and moderate to profound mental retardation . The behaviors were observed in a controlled environment before and after 2 exercise and 1 non-exercise conditions . From the original group of 6 participants , 2 were selected subsequently to participate in aerobic exercise immediately before performing a community-integrated vocational task . Only antecedent aerobic exercise significantly reduced maladaptive and stereotypic behaviors in the controlled setting . Neither of the less vigorous antecedent conditions did . When aerobic exercise preceded the vocational task , similar reductions were observed . There were individual differences in response to antecedent exercise . Use of antecedent aerobic exercise to reduce maladaptive and stereotypic behaviors of adults with both autism and mental retardation is supported .
