“…Another finding of this study that showed a significant difference between the experimental and control groups after NPP was the score on executive functions, which significantly increased in the experimental group compared to the control group. The benefits of systematic activities with playful and motor aspects that improve performance in tasks that require inhibitory control and cognitive flexibility in children with ADHD are well documented [48] [49] [50], thus corroborating the results found in our study.…”

This study aimed to evaluate the effects of a neuropsychopedagogical parenting program (NPP) on the cognitive and motor development of children with ADHD. 70 children with ADHD participated in the present study, of both sexes, aged between 06 and 08 years old (7.08 years old), who were divided into two groups: (A-35 children with ADHD who did not undergo the NPP; B-35 children with ADHD who underwent the NPP). The NPP had a duration of 25 sessions of 15 minutes each, at a frequency of 3 times a week. To evaluate the effects of the NPP, the children were submitted to the following protocols: 1) Swanson, Nolan and Pelham Questionaire (SNAP-IV); 2) Assessment of Motor Competence through the Supine-to Stand (STS); 3) Assessment of executive functioning through the HEAD-FOOT-KNEE-SHOULDER (HFKS) protocol; 4) Assessment of Reading Comprehension. Both groups were evaluated before the NPP, after the NPP and four months after the end of the NPP. Our results show that GB children in the signs/ symptoms evaluated by SNAP-IV had a superior performance by ±11% (p < 0.01) in relation to GA children. Regarding motor competence, the children from GB had a superior performance by ±24% (p < 0.01) in relation to children from GA. When assessed for executive functioning when establishing an intergroup comparison, GB children performed ±23% better (p < 0.01) than GA children. Regarding reading ability, children from (GB) had a superior performance by ±9% (p < 0.05) compared to children from (GA), after undergoing the NPP.

“…Whether the diagnosis of DCD can be predicted by screening for early fine motor skills, and whether the severity of DCD may be reduced by means of intervention on influencing factors constitute interesting areas to explore 30 ) .In addition, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a common neurodevelopmental disorder that affects 3–7% of preschool and school-aged children. It has been suggested that the deficits of ADHD children in memory performance, and the inability to allocate sufficient attention to postural control may contribute to the trend of further deteriorating fine motor skills with postural balance 31 , 32 ) . Lee et al 33 ) suggested that complex interactions between multiple risk factors such as physical fitness levels of children are responsible for ADHD.…”

[Purpose] The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of gender and family factors on performance in the fine motor domain of the Denver II developmental screening test. [Subjects and Methods] Data were obtained from 2038 healthy children, 999 boys (49%) and 1039 girls (51%) in four age groups: 0–24 months (57%), 25–40 months (21.1%), 41–56 months (10.4%), and 57–82 months (11.5%). [Results] Female gender, higher maternal age, especially in children older than 24 months, and higher maternal education were associated with earlier accomplishment of fine motor items. Higher socioeconomic status was correlated with fine motor skills more noticeably at young ages. [Conclusion] The results of this study support the role of environmental factors in the interpretation of fine motor test results and point to target groups for intervention, such as infants in the low socioeconomic group and preschool children of less educated mothers. Studies in different populations may reveal particular patterns that affect child development.

“…Moreover, since it is a high impact exercise that requires individuals to jump up and down, it is especially effective at improving balance, coordination, accuracy, explosive muscle strength, and agility. Gappmaier et al 17 ) reported that ball exercises are primarily used in physical therapies for patients with neurological problems, and that they improve the strength of the back muscles 18 ) . The discrepancies in the findings could be due to the differences in exercise type, measuring area, participants, etc.…”

[Purpose] The purpose of the present study was to determine the effect of a jump rope and ball combined exercise program on the physical fitness the neurotransmitter (epinephrine, serotonin) levels of children with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder. [Subjects and Methods] The subjects were 12 boys attending elementary school, whose grade levels ranged from 1–4. The block randomization method was used to distribute the participants between the combined exercise group (n = 6) and control group (n = 6). The program consisted of a 60-min exercise (10-min warm-up, 40-min main exercise, and 10-min cool down) performed three times a week, for a total of 12 weeks. [Results] The exercise group showed a significant improvement in cardiorespiratory endurance, muscle strength, muscle endurance and flexibility after 12 weeks. A significant increase in the epinephrine level was observed in the exercise group. [Conclusion] The 12-week combined exercise program in the current study (jump rope and ball exercises) had a positive effect on overall fitness level, and neurotransmission in children with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder.
