Effects of Exercise Intensity on ADHD Symptoms

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Attention Deficit Disorder with Hyperactivity, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, ADHD

In brief

This project investigates the effects of a bicycling exercise at three levels of exercise intensity (low, moderate, and high) on attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in college students. Specifically, the outcomes of interest in this study are self-reported executive functioning, self-reported functional impairment, and ADHD symptom severity. The hypothesis is that exercise will improve executive functioning, while reducing functional impairment and ADHD symptom severity, and that this response will be most pronounced in the high-intensity exercise group.
