Does exercise help improve disinhibition in children with ADHD?

Can physical activity impact some aspects of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder? An analysis of recent research suggests certain exercises can help improve disinhibition in some children, says psychologist Stephen Faraone, PhD. In this interview he discusses which activities appear to be most helpful. Faraone is a Distinguished Professor and vice chair of research of psychiatry and behavioral sciences at Upstate who has devoted most of his professional life to research of ADHD. He writes about ADHD research on his blog at ADHDevidence.org
