本研究旨在确定急性有氧运动对注意力缺陷多动障碍 (ADHD) 儿童执行功能的影响。四十名患有多动症的儿童被随机分配到运动组或对照组。运动组的参与者进行30分钟的中等强度有氧运动，而对照组则观看跑步/运动相关的视频。每次治疗前后均对神经心理学任务、斯特鲁普测试和威斯康星卡片分类测试（WCST）进行评估。结果表明，剧烈运动有助于提高斯特鲁普测试的表现，尤其是在斯特鲁普色词条件下。此外，运动组的儿童在非持续性错误和已完成类别方面的特定 WCST 表现有所改善，而对照组的这些表现没有发现任何影响。对运动效果的初步解释假设运动分配注意力资源，影响背外侧前额叶皮层，并与运动引起的多巴胺释放有关。这些发现令人鼓舞，并鼓励开展更多研究来探索运动对多动症儿童执行功能的功效。
This study was conducted to determine the effect of acute aerobic exercise on executive function in children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Forty children with ADHD were randomly assigned into exercise or control groups. Participants in the exercise group performed a moderate intensity aerobic exercise for 30 min, whereas the control group watched a running/exercise-related video. Neuropsychological tasks, the Stroop Test and the Wisconsin Card Sorting Test (WCST), were assessed before and after each treatment. The results indicated that acute exercise facilitated performance in the Stroop Test, particularly in the Stroop Color-Word condition. Additionally, children in the exercise group demonstrated improvement in specific WCST performances in Non-perseverative Errors and Categories Completed, whereas no influences were found in those performances in the control group. Tentative explanations for the exercise effect postulate that exercise allocates attention resources, influences the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, and is implicated in exercise-induced dopamine release. These findings are promising and additional investigations to explore the efficacy of exercise on executive function in children with ADHD are encouraged.
