High-intensity exercise is optimal for improving working memory and inhibitory function in children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Moderate-intensity exercise best enhances cognitive flexibility for ADHD patients.
Area of Science:
- Neuroscience
- Exercise Physiology
- Child Psychology
Background:
- Executive function deficits are common in Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).
- Exercise is increasingly recognized as a non-pharmacological intervention for ADHD symptoms.
Conclusions:
- Moderate to high-intensity exercise demonstrates significant potential for improving executive function in ADHD.
- High-intensity exercise interventions are recommended for substantial improvements in executive function for individuals with ADHD.
