Abstract

ADHD is a neurodevelopmental disorder affecting attention, impulse control, and motor activity, significantly impacting learning and social interactions. This article explores how physical activity, integrated within a neuropedagogical approach, enhances emotional regulation, neuroplasticity, and executive functions in children and adolescents with ADHD. Recent studies highlight the benefits of exercise on self-esteem, focus, and academic performance, fostering a virtuous cycle of motor and cognitive learning. The article emphasizes the importance of personalized educational interventions that combine inclusion with the development of individual potential.
