Abstract

Currently we find alarming figures for sedentary lifestyles and physical inactivity, two conditions that are significantly associated with mathematical calculation, linguistic reasoning, behaviour and attention at school age. However, few studies have been conducted in school children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). The aim of the present study was to analyse the association between the level of Moderate-Vigorous Physical Activity (MVPA) practice in schoolchildren diagnosed with ADHD and mathematical calculation, linguistic reasoning, hyperactive-attentive behaviour and the level of selective attention. Ninety-four students (44 boys; 47% and 50 girls; 53%) aged 9.48 ± 2.10 years participated. Mathematical calculation and linguistic reasoning were assessed by means of ad hoc tests. For hyperactive-attentive behaviour in the classroom the EDAH test was used and attention was measured with the d2 test. The results showed that a higher level of MVPA was associated with a higher level of linguistic reasoning. When analysed by gender, in girls, a higher level of MVPA was associated with higher mathematical calculation and linguistic reasoning, less hyperactive-attentive behaviour and a better level of attention. It is concluded that a high level of weekly MVPA could predict higher mathematical calculation and linguistic reasoning and low presence of hyperactive-impulsive behaviour at school. The results suggest the promotion of MVPA practice in schoolchildren diagnosed with ADHD.
