View on ClinicalTrials.gov →
Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to examine the effectiveness of Adaptive Karate Training (AKT) in improving self-regulation and daily function in children with ADHD, exploring the underlying mechanisms. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Is the AKT more effective than no karate training in enhancing functional performance, self-regulation and school QoL? 2. Are poorer executive functions, emotional regulation, and sensory processing associated with higher gains? Researchers will compare two sequences: (1) A group receiving AKT followed by a no-intervention period; (2) A group receiving no intervention, followed by the AKT intervention, to see if differences are observed between intervention and no-intervention periods, both between groups and within participants over time. Participants will engage in AKT sessions twice a week, each session lasting 60 minutes, over a period of two months.
