Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder01:30

Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder

1.1K
Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by persistent inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. It affects approximately 5-8% of children globally, with around 60-70% of cases persisting into adulthood. ADHD has significant implications for educational attainment, social interactions, and occupational success.
Diagnostic Criteria and Symptoms
To diagnose ADHD, symptoms must manifest before age 12 and be evident across multiple settings....

Social Facilitation01:04

Social Facilitation

36.6K
Not all intergroup interactions lead to negative outcomes. Sometimes, being in a group situation can improve performance. Social facilitation occurs when an individual performs better when an audience is watching than when the individual performs the behavior alone. This typically occurs when people are performing a task for which they are skilled.

Exercise and Cardiovascular Response01:20

Exercise and Cardiovascular Response

4.7K
Exercise significantly impacts cardiovascular response, which is crucial for understanding patient health and designing effective treatment plans.
Light to moderate physical activity initiates a series of interconnected responses in the body. The heart rate modestly increases in anticipation of the workout, followed by widespread vasodilation as oxygen consumption by skeletal muscles increases. This results in decreased peripheral resistance, increased capillary blood flow, and accelerated...

Adrenal Gland Disorders01:27

Adrenal Gland Disorders

3.4K
Adrenal gland disorders manifest when the production of adrenal hormones deviates from the norm, resulting in either excessive or insufficient concentrations.
Adrenal insufficiency, characterized by insufficient cortisol and aldosterone production, leads to conditions like Addison's disease. This disorder, affecting the adrenal cortex, exhibits symptoms such as skin bronzing, dehydration, low blood pressure, fatigue, and weight loss. Congenital adrenal hyperplasia, a genetic ailment causing...

Autism Spectrum Disorder01:19

Autism Spectrum Disorder

1.3K
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental condition marked by persistent deficits in social communication and interaction alongside restrictive and repetitive behaviors or interests. ASD is sometimes accompanied by intellectual impairment.
These core symptoms manifest differently among individuals, ranging from mild to severe. The disorder's complexity extends beyond its clinical presentation, encompassing a diverse range of biological, cognitive, and sociocultural influences.

Summary

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) affects athletes, with potential overlaps in symptoms with concussion. Stimulant treatment for ADHD in athletes requires careful consideration of cardiovascular risks and governing body regulations.

Area of Science:

  • Sports Medicine
  • Neurology
  • Psychiatry

Background:

  • Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is prevalent in the general population and may be more common in athletes.
  • Understanding ADHD in athletes is crucial due to potential symptom overlap with common sports injuries.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the diagnosis and treatment of ADHD in athletes.
  • To explore the implications of ADHD and its treatment on athletic performance and safety.

Main Methods:

  • Literature search of PubMed, MEDLINE, and Cochrane databases (2000-2016).
  • Key search terms included ADHD, athlete, sports, treatment, stimulants, cardiovascular effects, concussion, and traumatic brain injury (TBI).
  • Clinical review of Level 4 evidence.

Main Results:

  • ADHD is present across all levels of athletic competition.
  • Symptomatology of ADHD significantly overlaps with concussion symptoms.
  • Stimulant treatment for ADHD carries cardiovascular risks and may be restricted by sports organizations, influencing medication choices based on competition level and individual risk factors.

Conclusions:

  • Timely ADHD diagnosis and treatment are essential for athletes' well-being and performance.
  • Pharmacological treatments for ADHD are viable for athletes, but stimulant use is an independent risk factor for heat illness.
  • Concussion recovery and neurocognitive testing may be altered in athletes with ADHD.
