Resumen
MUNOZ-SUAZO, Dolores et al. Improving attention in children with ADHD after a directed physical activity intervention. CPD [online]. 2019, vol.19, n.3, pp.37-46. Epub 22-Jun-2020. ISSN 1989-5879.
The main objective of this work has been to evaluate if sport ameliorate cognitive function in children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). In the present work, we have studied the effect of a 6 weeks physical activity program twice a week for 1 hour duration and 60%-70% VO2máxintensity in 13 children (from 5 to 15 years old) (intervened group) with ADHD. Other 11 children (from 5 to 15 years old) with ADHD remained in class without sport practice (control group). We found that the intervened group ameliorates cognitive test (attention parameters) but not the control group. Result suggests a positive effect of sport in the physiopathology of the disease and we propose to use sport as complementary therapy for ADHD.
