Lifestyle
Exercise (Aerobic and Resistance)
for ADHD
Aerobic exercise acutely improves attention, working memory, and executive function in ADHD — effects that persist for several hours post-exercise.
How it works
Exercise increases dopamine, noradrenaline, and BDNF in prefrontal circuits. Provides a dose of the catecholamine stimulation that ADHD medication provides pharmacologically.
What to watch for
Timing matters — exercise before cognitively demanding tasks maximises acute benefit. The challenge is that ADHD makes consistent exercise routines difficult to establish.
