Pair sustained physical exercise with cognitive remediation strategies or other evidence-based treatments, pending research on combined interventions¶

Evidence · no claims cited

Description¶

The review's forward-looking recommendation is that exercise be investigated as part of a multi-component intervention for children with ADHD. It states that "it is possible that exercise, when combined with cognitive remediation strategies or other evidence-based treatments, will be particularly helpful," and that future studies should incorporate pre- and post-intervention neuroimaging and biological sampling to elucidate mechanisms. This is a research-oriented recommendation, not a validated classroom recipe.

Design Implications¶

Context¶

Requirements¶

• Larger, better controlled double-blind studies and longer follow-up studies are necessary before widespread use of exercise interventions would be warranted

Constraints¶

• At present data are insufficient to recommend widespread use of exercise interventions for children with ADHD

Target Learners¶

• children with ADHD

Target Learning Goals¶

• executive functioning, attention, and behavioral self-regulation

Affordances¶

• Neurodevelopmental Compensation Account Adhd
