Research project: The effectiveness of exercise intervention on children with ADHD

Abstract

This study primarily investigates the impact of exercise intervention on children with ADHD, with a focus on assessing working memory, motor skills, and sleep quality. The goal is twofold: firstly, to validate the positive effects of exercise on children with ADHD; secondly, to develop a tailored exercise intervention plan for ADHD children that is practical for implementation in both school and home environments. This plan will be crafted based on feedback collected from parents, schools, teachers, and the ADHD children themselves
