The Role of Physical Activity in Managing ADHD Symptoms in Children and Adolescents – Review of Current Literature by Barbara Chojnacka, Aleksandra Ożga, Julia Wątor, Agnieszka Woźniacka, Jerzy Krzeszowiak, Barbara Boba, Tomasz Pulanecki, Alicja Podolska, Sylwia Bryksy, Patrycja Kolano

“…Conclusions: This review’s findings show that physical activity interventions benefit ADHD symptoms and executive functions in children and adolescents. Results of the studies showed that physical activity, especially organized closed-skill activities like running and aerobic training, enhanced the core ADHD symptoms (impulsivity, attention dysregulation, hyperactivity) the most, while open-skill activities that require real-time adaptation to environmental changes, had some effect on inhibitory control. …”
