Brain-Boosting exercise: new study tests movement training for ADHD kids
NCT ID NCT07139210
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a program of balance, coordination, and perception exercises can improve thinking, movement, and quality of life in 30 children with ADHD, ages 8 to 12. The training includes activities like balancing, shape perception, and eye-hand coordination. Researchers will measure changes in cognitive function, motor skills, and daily well-being.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- perceptual-motor training program (balance, coordination, and perception exercises)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could offer a non-drug way to help children with ADHD improve their thinking skills, motor abilities, and daily quality of life.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage study with only 30 children, so results may not apply to everyone. The training is not a cure and may not work for all participants.
