The aim of this study was to examine the effectiveness of a Selected exercise program on the executive function of children with ADHD. The participants were 40 male students, aged 7-11 years. The participants were randomly assigned into two groups (experimental and control). The experimental group participated in an exercise program for 24 sessions, 90 minutes per session. The control group did not receive any intervention. Before and after the exercise period, all the participants were assessed with Stroop and Go-No-Go tests, and the resulting data were analyzed by using MANCOVA. The results showed that the cognitive inhibition of the children in the experimental group was significantly different compared with the control group (p < 0.05). Additionally, there was a significant difference between the experimental and control groups in the behavioral inhibition (p < 0.05). An organized physical activity helps to improve the executive function in children with ADHD.
本研究的目的是检验一项选定的锻炼计划对多动症儿童执行功能的有效性。参与者为40名7至11岁的男学生。参与者被随机分为两组(实验组和对照组)。实验组参加了一项为期24节、每节90分钟的锻炼计划。对照组未接受任何干预。在锻炼期前后,所有参与者均接受了Stroop和Go-No-Go测试评估,并使用协方差分析对所得数据进行分析。结果显示,实验组儿童的认知抑制与对照组相比有显著差异(p < 0.05)。此外,实验组和对照组在行为抑制方面也存在显著差异(p < 0.05)。有组织的体育活动有助于改善多动症儿童的执行功能。
