Brief summary
The study mainly investigates the effect of high-intensity interval training on conflict monitoring in children with ADHD by using event-related potential and sLORETA techniques.
Detailed description
The present study will have two experiments, one is a cross-section study and the other is intervention study. As for cross-section study, typical developmental children and children with ADHD will perform the stroop task while recording their brain waves. The intervention is twice a week for 5 weeks and before and after the intervention, children with ADHD will randomly assign to either an exercise group or control group. They will perform the stroop task while recording their brain waves.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Behavioral performance | Day 0 and post-intervention at Week 5 | reaction time (ms) is generated by computerized task defined as correct responses within the range from 200-1500 ms |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| N2 & P3 components | Day 0 and post-intervention at Week 5 | Electroencephalographic (EEG) activity will be measured at 64 sites. The amplitude of the N2 is defined as the mean amplitude within a 50-ms interval surrounding the maximal negative peak within a 200- to 400-ms latency window. The amplitude of the P3 is defined as the mean amplitude within a 50-ms interval surrounding the maximal positive peak within a 300- to 800-ms latency window. |
Other
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Brain activation | Day 0 and post-intervention at Week 5 | To examine sources relating to amplitude in ERPs, source localization will be conducted using standardized low resolution brain electromagnetic tomography (sLORETA) The sLORETA analysis with the ERP data will be selected by four 100 ms bins covering the period from 0 to 200 ms after stimulus-onset (0-50, 50-100, 100-150, and 150-200 ms). |
