Based on these 3 articles , we concluded that 30 min of physical exercise reportedly improved the executive functions of children with ADHD .
OBJECTIVE Studies have suggested that even a single session of physical exercise enhances executive functions .
ADHD is among the most common developmental disorders in childhood , but little is known about alternative treatments for this disorder .
Therefore , we performed a systematic review of the literature to analyze articles that evaluated the executive functions of children with ADHD after an acute exercise session .
Endurance training effects on neurotransmitter release in rat striatum: an in vivo microdialysis study.
In the present study we use the in vivo microdialysis sampling technique to register extracellular levels of neurotransmitters in the striatum of trained and untrained rats . We further evaluate the influence of 1 h of exercise on the striatal release of dopamine ( DA ) , noradrenaline ( NA ) , glutamate ( GLU ) and gamma-aminobutyric acid ( GABA ) in trained and untrained rats . Male Wistars were r and omly assigned to a training or control group . The exercise training consisted of running on a treadmill for 6 weeks , 5 days week-1 , with running time and speed gradually increased from 30 min at 19 m min-1 during the first week to 80 min at 26 m min-1 during the final training week . The animals of the control group were placed on the treadmill twice a week , and received a total of four ' adaptation sessions ' , in which they exercised 15 - 45 min at 26 m min-1 . Brain dialysates were analysed with microbore liquid chromatography ( LC ) , with electrochemical detection ( monoamines and GABA ) and fluorescence detection ( GLU ) . Soleus citrate synthase and basal striatal concentrations of DA , NA and GLU were significantly different between the trained and control animals . Sixty minutes of exercise significantly increased extracellular DA , NA and GLU levels in both groups , but there was no statistically significant difference in the exercise-induced increase between trained and control animals . There was no statistical difference in basal or exercise-induced GABA levels between trained and control animals . The results indicate that exercise training appears to result in diminished basal activity of striatal neurotransmitters , while maintaining the necessary sensitivity for responses to acute exercise
