Summary
This study explores whether high-intensity interval training (HIIT) is a practical and acceptable treatment for adults with ADHD. Researchers will recruit 30 adults diagnosed with ADHD to participate in a 14-week exercise program combining strength and endurance training. The goal is to see if people stick with the program and find it helpful, before planning a larger trial to measure effects on attention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity.
