Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurobehavioral disorder characterized by inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. Sport and physical activity have been shown to play a major role in the development of cognition, memory, selective attention, and motor reaction time, especially among adolescents with ADHD. In this context, the objective of this study was to investigate the effects of a swimming exercise program on the symptoms of ADHD in an adult with a diagnosis since childhood. The training intervention was performed for eight weeks, and the results demonstrated that the swimming-learning program significantly alleviated the symptoms of inattention and hyperactivity, as measured by the psychometric indices used in the study. Further studies are needed to establish and understand the association between physical activities and improved mental performance in adults with ADHD.
注意力缺陷多动障碍（ADHD）是一种以注意力不集中、多动和冲动为特征的神经行为障碍。运动和体育活动已被证明在认知、记忆、选择性注意力和运动反应时间的发展中起主要作用，尤其是在患有ADHD的青少年中。在此背景下，本研究的目的是调查一项游泳锻炼计划对一名自幼被诊断患有ADHD的成年人的ADHD症状的影响。训练干预进行了八周，结果表明，根据该研究所使用的心理测量指标衡量，游泳学习计划显著减轻了注意力不集中和多动的症状。需要进一步的研究来建立和理解体育活动与患有ADHD的成年人改善心理表现之间的关联。
