Multi-Component Training Versus Motor Learning Techniques in Adults With ADHD
Sponsor: Riphah International University
Summary
This randomized clinical trial aims to compare the effects of multi-component training and motor learning techniques on attention, cognitive performance, and motor coordination in adults with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). ADHD in adults is associated with impairments in executive function, attention regulation, and motor coordination, which significantly impact daily functioning and quality of life. While pharmacological and behavioral therapies are commonly used, non-pharmacological interventions such as structured exercise and motor learning approaches have shown potential benefits. A total of 44 participants aged 18-30 years with clinically diagnosed ADHD will be recruited and randomly allocated into two groups. Group A will receive multi-component training including aerobic, resistance, balance, and flexibility exercises, while Group B will receive motor learning techniques focusing on task-oriented and cognitive-motor dual-task training. Both interventions will be administered three times per week for eight weeks. Outcome measures will include standardized tools assessing attention, executive function, and cognitive performance, including ADHD rating scales and cognitive assessments. Data will be analyzed pre- and post-intervention to determine within-group and between-group differences. This study aims to identify effective, non-pharmacological rehabilitation strategies for improving cognitive and motor outcomes in adults with ADHD.

Interventions
Multi-Component Training
Multi-component training will include warm-up, moderate-intensity aerobic exercise, resistance training using light weights or resistance bands, balance and flexibility exercises, breathing exercises, and cool-down. Sessions will be supervised three times per week for 8 weeks, with each session lasting approximately 30-40 minutes.
Motor Learning Techniques
Motor learning techniques will include warm-up, task-oriented functional motor activities, cognitive-motor dual-task exercises, feedback-based learning, and cool-down. Sessions will be supervised three times per week for 8 weeks, with each session lasting approximately 30-40 minutes.
