Abstract:
Objective:To explore the effect of acute exercise on the executive function in patients with atten-tion deficit hyperactivity disorder(ADHD),and to provide a theoretical basis for the exercise intervention of ADHD.Methods:Experimental studies on the effect of acute exercise on executive function in patients with ADHD published up to 21 April 2023 were searched from PubMed,Web of Science,Cochrane Library,Embase,CNKI,Wanfang,and other data platforms.Results:A total of 15 studies were included,and 515 patients with ADHD were included.The results of meta-analysis showed that a single exercise could improve inhibitory control(SMD=0.36,95％CI=0.17-0.55,P＜0.05)and cognitive flexibility(SMD=0.40,95％CI=0.10-0.69,P＜0.05)in pa-tients with ADHD.The results of subgroup analysis showed that in terms of the age of the participants,a single ex-ercise could only improve inhibitory control and cognitive flexibility in children and adolescents with ADHD(SMD=0.36,0.43,Ps＜0.05),but not in adult patients with ADHD(SMD=0.34,0.14,Ps＞0.05).In terms of exer-cise regimen,only a single exercise with moderate and high intensity,≤ 20 minutes,and open motor skills could simultaneously improve inhibitory control(SMD=0.47,0.51,0.47,Ps＜0.05)and cognitive flexibility(SMD=0.86,0.65,0.86,Ps＜0.05)in patients with ADHD.Conclusion:Acute exercise could improve inhibitory control and cognitive flexibility in children and adolescents with ADHD,but has no significant effect on working memory and executive function in adult patients.
