“…Neither PA nor cognitive engagement nor a combination of these factors yielded a stronger improvement in cognitive performance than a passive sedentary control condition. This result, especially the non-existing effect on inhibition, contradicts our hypotheses and most previous research (Best, 2012;Chen et al, 2014;Drollette et al, 2012;Hillman et al, 2009;J€ ager et al, 2014;Kubesch et al, 2009;Pontifex et al, 2013).…”

“…Except for the intervention content and context and with it possibly the intensity and the children's engagement, no other differences between the present and previous studies are obvious (length of intervention, measurement instrument, or sample size). Thus, even though a few previous studies found effects of acute PA interventions in natural settings on inhibition Kubesch et al, 2009) or all EF (Chen et al, 2014), the present study puts a question mark over the generalizability of effects found in laboratory settings to realworld settings.…”

A recent study, however, showed positive effects on all three core dimensions of EF (Chen et al, 2014), indicating that, similar to adults, all three dimensions of EF can be affected through acute PA, with inhibition probably benefitting most easily (Barenberg et al, 2011).…”

“…One study found improved performance in inhibition in 13-to 14-year-olds (Kubesch et al, 2009) and another study found improved performance in all three core dimensions of EF in 9-year-olds (Chen et al, 2014) after an acute bout of endurance-oriented exercise in a group setting similar to physical education. These results indicate that not only interventions in highly controlled laboratory settings, but also interventions in real-world settings seem to be effective in improving EF in children.…”

Key Points Question What is the effectiveness of universal self-regulation–based interventions to improve self-regulation and affect health and social outcomes in children and adolescents? Findings This systematic review and meta-analysis of 49 randomized clinical trials evaluating 50 self-regulation interventions found that these interventions were effective in children and adolescents. Positive outcomes on health and social measures such as academic achievement, social skills, mental health, behavioral problems, conduct disorders, school suspensions, and substance abuse was also reported. Meaning Self-regulation interventions can be effective in children and adolescents with possible benefits in health and social outcomes.

The aim of the study is to explore the functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) characteristics of the improvement in executive function by aerobic exercise in children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Seventeen children with ADHD were selected for 8 weeks of rope skipping aerobic training, and fMRI findings and executive function were examined before and after training. Regional homogeneity (ReHo) and degree centrality (DC) indexes were used in fMRI analysis, whereas the flanker task was used to test executive function. A paired t test was used to compare the fMRI indexes and response time of executive function before and after training. After aerobic exercise, the brain regions in which the ReHo value of ADHD children significantly increased included the left middle frontal gyrus and the right superior frontal gyrus; the brain region in which the DC value increased was the right posterior cingulate cortex. The flanker task response time decreased significantly (P < 0.05, after correction) after aerobic exercise. The study findings support the hypothesis that aerobic exercise can improve the executive function of ADHD children, and the brain mechanism involved is mainly related to the enhancement of spontaneous prefrontal lobe activity.
