How it works
Exercise increases dopamine, noradrenaline, and BDNF in prefrontal circuits. Provides a dose of the catecholamine stimulation that ADHD medication provides pharmacologically.
Timing matters — exercise before cognitively demanding tasks maximises acute benefit. The challenge is that ADHD makes consistent exercise routines difficult to establish.
Getting started
This is a lifestyle-based approach. Start gradually and consult a health professional if you have any concerns about suitability for your situation.
