Exercise may benefit children with ADHD, New Study

A study from Michigan State University’s kinesiology department shows kids with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder — or ADHD — may see their symptoms reduced with exercise before school.

A study of early elementary age students compared behaviors of children who exercised for 30 minutes before school each day to those who did sedentary activities in the classroom.

Kids in the exercise group showed greater improvements in attention and mood during the rest of the school day than those in the sedentary group.

Researchers say it is not clear if exercise only offers advantages to children with ADHD, because students without the condition also had improved attention and focus.

An estimated 11 percent of children have symptoms of ADHD and nearly half take a daily medication.
