The effects of physical activity on attention deficit hyperactivity disorder symptoms: the evidence. Gapin, J. I, Labban, J. D, & Etnier, J. L Preventive Medicine, 52 Suppl 1:S70–4, June, 2011. Publisher: Elsevier Inc.
The effects of physical activity on attention deficit hyperactivity disorder symptoms: the evidence. [link]Paper  doi  abstract   bibtex   
Evidence supports the beneficial effects of physical activity (PA) on cognitive performance and suggests that effects might be particularly large for children. However, limited research has explored PA as a means of managing behavioral symptoms and improving cognitive performance of children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). The etiology of ADHD and the putative mechanisms for the effects of PA on cognitive performance suggest that PA might be especially important for this population.
