Sportdiscus with full text

To identify all relevant published articles that reported on the comparison of accelerometer-assessed physical activity levels or sleep parameters between children and adolescents with and without ASD, electronic searches were performed using 6 databases, from inception to February 2023: American Psychological Association PsychInfo (via Ovid), CINAHL Ultimate (via EBSCOhost), ERIC (via EBSCOhost), MEDLINE (via Ovid), SPORTDiscus with Full Text (via EBSCOhost), and Web of Science. The search was limited to articles written in English on human-related topics. A snowballing search was performed to identify additional relevant articles, where the reference lists of the retrieved studies (backward snowballing), and references that cited the eligible studies (forward snowballing) were checked for additional eligible studies.

We will search articles on the BE and walking behaviour in health, behavioural sciences, sport, environmental social sciences, transportation, urban design, physical activity, and multi-disciplinary databases, based on guidance from a team of researchers and librarians to sufficiently cover the topic. The selected databases are: Scopus, PubMed, SPORTDiscus with Full Text (EBSCO), Business Source Complete (EBSCO), Art and Architecture Archive (Proquest), Avery Index to Architectural Periodicals (ProQuest) and Art, Design & Architecture Collection (ProQuest).
