Abstract

We tested whether engaging in sports might benefit the inhibitory control and the inhibitory control improvement after a motivation intervention for children with ADHD. Our data suggest that time playing sports is not predictive for neither baseline inhibitory control level, nor the training outcome in children with ADHD.
