Key Points

  • To examine the effects of different types of exercise on inhibitory control and working memory in children with ADHD.
  • Conducted a network meta-analysis
  • Compared various exercise modalities including sport-based exercises and ball games
  • Assessed outcomes in children diagnosed with ADHD against control groups.
  • Both sport-based exercises and cognitive + exercise improved inhibitory control and working memory compared to the control group.
  • Ball games were found to be more effective than single aerobic or combined exercise methods.
  • Identified ball games as the most effective intervention for improving cognitive functions in ADHD children.

Abstract

The effects of sport-based exercise modalities; physical and mental exercises, cognitive + exercise, and ball games on the inhibitory control and working memory of ADHD children are better than those of the control group.
