Randomized trial examines long-term exercise effects on executive function in ADHD, suggesting potential benefits.

The study aims to evaluate the impact of long-term exercise on executive function in children and adolescents with ADHD.
Performed a three-level meta-analysis on randomized controlled trials concerning exercise and executive function.
Searched five databases up to June 2025, assessing risk of bias with ROB 2.
Conducted sensitivity analyses and influence analysis to confirm findings.
Long-term exercise improved executive function in ADHD (Hedges' g = -0.52; 95% CI = -0.87, -0.18; P = 0.003).
Intervention duration and age were moderating factors for improvements (F = 4.72; P = 0.033; F = 5.36; P = 0.023).
Evidence quality was assessed as low certainty.

Wang et al. (2026) studied this question.
