Description
Rodríguez and Martín-Rodríguez review whether physical activity improves mental flexibility in children with ADHD. The condition often weakens executive skills, which hurts school work and daily life. Exercise is a drug-free candidate to support those skills. Yet studies vary in exercise type and in how strong their findings are. The review followed PRISMA rules and searched six databases. It kept studies of primary school children with ADHD who took part in activity programs.
The protocol was logged in a public registry before write-up. Outcomes centered on cognitive flexibility, the skill of shifting rules and focus. The authors set out to sort which activity forms show the clearest gains. The review guides schools weighing exercise as support.
