Cycling Therapy for Autistic Children

When thinking about which sport is best for autistic children, pediatricians, psychologists, and educators unanimously agree: swimming, therapeutic gymnastics, and cycling therapy. A children’s bicycle is as important an attribute of childhood as developmental toys. The regular “iron” horse is incredibly beneficial for both the physical and mental health of a child with ASD.

Benefits of Cycling for Autistic Children

1. Improved Relationships with Parents
   Many autistic children struggle with emotional bonding with their parents. Cycling promotes closer interaction, where a parent can show how wonderful the world around is and teach how to solve small difficulties that arise during the ride.
2. Socialization with Peers
   Sport is important for autistic children because it helps develop relationships with other children. Having a bicycle makes it easier for a child to interact with peers who also enjoy riding bikes.
3. Development of Motor Coordination
   Riding this type of children’s transportation requires endurance and balance control. It’s great training for the vestibular system, which not only develops coordination but also spatial imagination.
4. Muscle Training
   Cycling engages a large number of muscles, much like swimming and long-distance running.
5. Posture Support
   Coordination and skeletal issues are common for autistic children. Training the lower back and long back muscles effectively supports the spine and helps prevent osteochondrosis.
6. Formation of a Beautiful Figure, Support for Metabolic Processes
   Many children with ASD, due to a sedentary lifestyle, have slowed metabolism and weak muscles with underdeveloped bodies. Cycling can address these “negatives.”
7. Support for Vascular System and Heart Function
   Cycling provides invaluable benefits for autistic children by maintaining vascular tone and heart muscle function, normalizing blood circulation, and ensuring that all organs receive adequate oxygen.
8. Increased Oxygen Concentration in the Brain, Healthy Lungs
   Lungs function properly, and the brain works better when a child inhales a larger volume of air. Increased air intake significantly improves lung function. Oxygen also contributes to normal brain metabolic processes.
9. Improved Attention
   Cycling develops important skills: the ability to see the bigger picture, to distinguish between the main and secondary aspects.
10. Harmonization of the Nervous System
    Physical activity and fresh air stimulate the production of happiness hormones, endorphins, calming and energizing the child with positive energy.
11. Boosted Immunity
    Regular bike rides enhance the body’s defense functions and train the immune response to various stimuli.
