I'm a layperson with an interest so welcome input, my takeaway was this bit 'preliminary evidence suggests that exercise can improve cognitive performance intimately linked to ADHD presentations in children with and without an ADHD diagnosis' which seems to suggest you are incorrect? Given that essentially no harm would come from all children taking a good amount of exercise it would seem following the recommendations would give a good outcome, there are many other benefits to exercise, obviously the odd broken leg, but injuries aside am I missing something?
- JoeAltmaier 6y agoTo quote Paucity of studies probing the effect of different exercise parameters impedes finite conclusions in this regard. I took that to mean, no idea what works or why. And there's a cost to getting an ADHD child to consistently exercise. Its can be challenging to do anything for any duration, regularly. Lets not discount the parental effort for this to succeed. Lets not throw this at parents as another thing they should all be doing, without more than very-qualified evidence. There's enough things to make ADHD parents feel guilty about already.
- ekanes 6y agoParenting an ADHD kiddo is hard enough, for sure. But I read that sentence with emphasis on the word, "different" rather than "exercise" -- so they would be saying that there's such variety in exercise, it's hard to say with enough certainty WHICH exercise. (But I'm also just an interested layperson.)
