• Meta-analysis indicates that accelerometer data reveals significant differences in activity levels among different groups of children.
• Systematic review of multiple studies provides a comprehensive overview of physical activity patterns in youth with neurodevelopmental disorders.
• Findings support the need for targeted interventions to increase physical activity in this population, aiming to improve health outcomes.
