Shu-Shih (Stone) Hsieh discusses his JCPP Editorial Perspective ‘Healthy body—Healthy mind? Does exercise benefit people with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder?’ (https://doi.org/10.1111/jcpp.14042). There is an overview of the paper, key findings, and implications for practice.



Learning Objectives

1. Learn about some of the common treatment plans for attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and their limitations.

2. Discover the key findings from research into the impact of exercise on ADHD symptoms.

3. Understand the different types of exercise and whether the type of exercise (such as group) and the intensity has an impact.

4. Explore the mechanisms through which exercise may benefit people with ADHD. 5. Examine the extent to which the mechanisms through exercise and medications work on ADHD symptoms and the associated cognitive deficits are similar and whether one effect is stronger than the other.

6. Recognise the main challenges in translating exercise-based interventions from controlled research environments to real-world applications.

7. Learn about the critical gaps in the current research on the relationship between exercise and ADHD and how strong the evidence base is.
