The results indicated the following:
1. after the 12-week intervention period, several measures of the EG1 and EG2s significantly improved over time.
2. between group comparisons demonstrated significant improvements in both EG1 and EG2 compared to the CG in variables assessing working memory performance and motor performance.
The researchers concluded that long-term physical activity has a positive effect on executive functions of children with ADHD, regardless of the specificity of the activity. The researchers recommended that regular physical activity can be used as a complementary or alternative non-pharmacologic treatment for ADHD.
