Effect of Game-based HIIT Program on the Executive Function of Children With ADHD

There will be two training sessions each week. In each training session, there will be four sets of training programs separated by 3 minutes of passive recovery in accordance with a previous study.Each set of activities will last for around 5 minutes; therefore, the total duration of each training session will be approximately 30 minutes. A small group size (4-6 children per group) will be adopted to facilitate individual supervision and adaption of the exercise program.

Similar to GameHIIT, the intervention will comprise 8 weeks of structured aerobic exercise sessions, lasting one hour on average in each session and up to twice per week. Six to eight stations of multidimensional exercises will be set up for each session. Adopting the train-the-trainer (TTT) model, training will be provided by front-line healthcare providers or trained helpers. Children will be instructed to finish the exercises in all stations one after another in a predetermined order.
