ADHD and physical activity: how adapted exercises improve concentration and behavior
ADHD and physical activity: how adapted exercises improve concentration and behavior
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a disorder characterized by problems with concentration, impulsivity, and excessive activity. For children, adolescents, and adults with ADHD, adaptive physical education (AFC) can be a key element in managing symptoms and improving quality of life. In this article, we will look at how specially tailored physical exercises can help improve concentration and behavioral responses in individuals with ADHD.
The effect of physical activity on ADHD
Numerous studies show that regular physical exercise can significantly improve cognitive function and behavior in children and adults with ADHD. Physical activity increases levels of neurotransmitters such as dopamine and norepinephrine, which play a key role in regulating attention and behavior.
The benefits of adaptive exercise
Conclusion
Adaptive physical education provides invaluable opportunities to improve the quality of life for people with ADHD. Regular physical exercise helps not only in physical development, but also in improving concentration, managing behavioral reactions, and increasing self-esteem. Creating an individual set of exercises, taking into account the characteristics of each person with ADHD, can become the basis for successful adaptation and social integration.

The benefits of adaptive exercise
- Improving concentration: Exercises that require coordination and attention, such as yoga, tai chi, and acrobatics, can help improve concentration and reduce impulsivity.
- Reducing hyperactivity: Intense sports such as running, swimming or cycling allow you to use up excess energy and promote a better sense of calm during the day.
- Developing social skills: Team sports and group activities can improve social skills, teach children with ADHD to interact and work as a team, and deal with disappointments and successes.
- Improving self-esteem: Success in physical exercise can significantly improve self-esteem and self-perception, which is extremely important for children with ADHD, who often face academic and social difficulties.
- Effective exercises for people with ADHD
- Aerobic exercise: Running, brisk walking, swimming, or cycling can help improve overall health and cognitive function, especially in terms of improving attention and information retention.
- Ball games: Soccer, basketball and other similar games are well structured, require concentration and coordination, which makes them ideal for children with ADHD.
- Dancing and rhythmic gymnastics: These types of activities not only help in improving physical fitness, but also require memorizing movement sequences, which is useful for training memory and attention.
- Yoga and meditation: They help to develop the ability to concentrate and self-control, teach relaxation and self-regulation.
