Effects of HIIT and Dual-Task Training in Children With ADHD
Sponsor: Hasan Kalyoncu University
Summary
This randomized controlled study evaluated the effects of an 8-week high-intensity interval training (HIIT)-based dual-task exercise program on attention, cognitive-motor performance, social adjustment, and quality of life in adolescents with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Thirty adolescents aged 13-17 years were randomized to an intervention group (n=15) or a control group (n=15). The intervention group completed 24 exercise sessions, performed three times per week for eight weeks, while the control group received no structured exercise program. Outcomes were assessed before the intervention, after the intervention, and at 3-month follow-up using the D2 Test of Attention, Stroop Test, BOT-2 Short Form, Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory, and Social Adjustment Scale.

High-Intensity Interval Training With Dual-Task Training
An 8-week exercise program combining high-intensity interval training (HIIT) with dual-task exercises. Participants completed three supervised sessions per week for a total of 24 sessions. The program included interval-based high-intensity exercise together with simultaneous cognitive-motor tasks. Exercise intensity and task difficulty were progressed according to the study protocol.
