  1. The Role of Exercise in Managing ADHD Symptoms Eliteteencounseling.com

  2. Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a mental disorder that mostly persists in children. As the name suggests, attention deficit refers to a child’s inability to pay attention/focus, and hyperactivity refers to excess/too much movement which may not be appropriate for a particular occasion. However, like any other mental disorder, ADHD is manageable. Your child needs an exercise routine that will also serve as an opportunity to engage them in fitness at an early age.

  3. Here is what exercise does to manage ADHD

  4. 01 Exercise improves attention and focus, increasing the production of neurotransmitters like dopamine and norepinephrine.

  5. 02 Exercise decreases hyperactivity and impulsivity, helping channel excess energy and regulating impulsive behaviors.

  6. 03 Exercise controls mood and emotion, keeping the symptoms of anxiety and depression at bay.

  7. 04 Exercise boosts neuroplasticity, amplifying the brain’s ability to form new neural connections and executive functions such as planning and organizing.

  8. 05 Exercise promotes sleep, allowing children with ADHD to rest better and ultimately supporting growth and development.

  9. 06 Exercise provides discipline, creating structure and predictability to contribute to mental, emotional, and physical strength.

  10. ADHD management is effective when an exercise regimen is incorporated. We encourage you to teach your children the importance of participating in exercise sessions for long-term health benefits.
