Abstract
Background: Physical Activity (PA) and Physical Exercise (PE) tends to reduce ADHD symptoms in children; however, the relationship might be more complicated within adults and may also vary depending on ADHD-symptom subtypes. Given the higher prevalence of addiction in individuals with ADHD, investig...
