Objetivo. Analisar os efeitos do exergaming na capacidade aeróbica, percepção de esforço, força de preensão manual e equilíbrio em indivíduos com Transtorno do Espectro Autista (TEA). Método. Foi realizado um ensaio clínico cruzado com 10 voluntários de ambos os sexos, diagnosticados com TEA (10,50±0,84 anos; Índice de Massa Corporal (IMC) =21,51±1,38kg/m²). Os voluntários foram randomizados em dois momentos de intervenção: Exergaming (EXE) e Sem Intervenção (WI), com um período de washout de um mês entre os cruzamentos dos momentos avaliados. O momento EXE consistiu em exergaming utilizando o Nintendo Wii®, com os jogos Basic Run Plus e Mario Kart Wii, duas vezes por semana, totalizando 10 sessões. Todos foram avaliados quanto à capacidade aeróbica por meio do teste de caminhada de 6 minutos (TC6), percepção de esforço pela Escala Modificada de Borg, equilíbrio postural na presença e ausência da visão utilizando a plataforma Wii Balance Board® (WBB) e força de preensão manual de ambas as mãos com um dinamômetro digital. Resultados. No momento EXE, foram observados aumentos na distância percorrida no TC6 (p<0,001) e na força de preensão manual (Direita: p<0,001; Esquerda: p<0,001) em comparação ao momento WI. No momento EXE, houve redução na percepção de esforço (p=0,011), sem alterações significantes nas variáveis de equilíbrio postural. Conclusão. Neste estudo, o momento EXE promoveu melhora na capacidade aeróbica, na força de preensão manual e na redução da percepção de esforço, sem alterar o equilíbrio postural de voluntários com TEA.
