“…Single-bout of exercises can enhance cognitive function through instantaneous neurochemical reactions, such as increasing the secretions of BNDF and the levels of synaptic proteins, glutamate receptors, and insulin-like growth factor availability, all of which seem to improve cell proliferation and neuroplasticity [ 30 , 31 ]. Aerobic exercise appears to have more immediate and long-term effects [ 21 , 29 , 31 ]. Tantillo et al.…”

“…To verify the findings, we collected ADHD-related physiological and psychological abnormalities and compiled studies on the benefits of exercise in children and adolescents with ADHD to provide a conceptual mechanism on exercise intervention [ [20] , [21] , [22] ]. Hence, we compiled the benefits of exercise in ADHD from the exercise intervention studies and discussed these results based on the neurophysiological framework presented.…”

“…The 21 investigations met the selection criteria of the investigation, which demonstrated the benefits of the practice of physical activity, exercise, or sport. Of the 21 investigations, 6 developed interventions with physical activity programs [ 38 , 39 , 40 , 41 , 42 , 43 ], 12 investigations developed interventions with exercise programs [ 44 , 45 , 46 , 47 , 48 , 49 , 50 , 51 , 52 , 53 , 54 , 55 ], and only 3 studies developed sports programs [ 27 , 56 , 57 ].…”

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder that negatively affects the inattention, disorganization, and/or hyperactivity–impulsivity in children and adolescents who suffer from it, included cases being reported that continue into adulthood. This disorder impairs social, academic, emotional, psychological, and health system functioning due to its high cost of treatment. The present systematic review aims to analyze the effects of physical activity, exercise, and sports on the executive function in children and adolescents diagnosed with ADHD through the scientific literature. The results show that the practice of physical activity, exercise, or sport produces improvements in executive function in children and adolescents diagnosed with ADHD, mainly through aerobic exercise. A 20 min session of physical activity, sport, or exercise leads to improvements in executive functions in children and adolescents with ADHD. It can be concluded that the practice of physical activity, exercise, and sport generate improvements on executive functions in children and adolescents with ADHD, mainly through aerobic exercise.

Purpose Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a common neurodevelopmental condition with community prevalence globally of 2%–7% (M = 5%; Sayal, Prasad, Daley, Ford, and Coghill; 2018). Clinicians are routinely encouraged to explain to children and young people the benefits of a healthy lifestyle, including exercise (NICE NG87, 2018). Exercise has been proposed as a safe and low-cost adjunctive approach for ADHD and is reported to be accompanied by positive effects on several aspects of executive functioning (EF). The purpose of this narrative review was to synthesise the contemporary randomised control trial (RCT) studies that examine the effect of sport, physical activity and movement on EF in children and adolescents with ADHD. Design/methodology/approach A narrative review approach with a systematic literature search using PRISMA guidelines for screening and selecting relevant systematic reviews was used. The final review included four peer-review systematic reviews (>2019). Findings The results identified three RCT meta-analyses and findings showed that children and adolescents with lower baseline cognitive performance demonstrated greater improvements in functioning after physical activity interventions, particularly for tasks with higher executive function demands, where baseline performance reaches an optimal level. Findings suggest that 10–20 min of acute moderate-high-intensity exercise interventions (cycling/running) appeared to have positive effects on indices of inhibitory control. Preliminary evidence suggests that as little as 5 min of jumping exercises improved inhibitory control. And 60–80 min of moderately intense, repeated (chronic) exercise appeared to demonstrate the greatest beneficial impact on selection attention. Originality/value To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this review is the first to present the extant literature on the effect of physical activity and sport on symptoms of young people with ADHD. It presents evidence to suggest that exercise with progressively increasing cognitive demands may have positive effects for children with ADHD, specifically in terms of improving cognitive flexibility. Further large-scale clinical trials are needed to confirm the positive effects of physical exercise on cognitive functioning in children with ADHD.
