This study examined whether the links between children’s ADHD symptom severity and academic and social functioning varied based on their aerobic fitness levels. Hierarchical regression models were used to examine the main and interactive effects of inattentive and hyperactive/impulsive (HI) symptom severity and aerobic fitness levels on academic and social functioning in 198 children ( Mage = 6.83; 53% male; 68% White, 14% Mixed Race, 8% Black or African American; 2% Asian; 8% selected the “Other” category when reporting racial identity; across race categories, 15% identified as Hispanic or Latino ethnicity). Children’s aerobic fitness levels were assessed using a multistage fitness test. Parents rated children’s ADHD symptoms, and teachers rated academic and social functioning. Results highlighted negative associations between ADHD symptom severity and adaptive academic and social functioning. Aerobic fitness was positively linked with academic performance. Aerobic fitness moderated the associations between HI symptom severity and academic outcomes, highlighting that aerobic fitness may be protective against academic impairments for children with elevated HI symptoms.

有氧健身是否可以缓冲幼儿多动症症状严重程度与学业和社交功能之间的联系？

这项研究调查了儿童多动症症状严重程度与学业和社会功能之间的联系是否因他们的有氧健身水平而异。使用分层回归模型研究了 198 名儿童的注意力不集中和多动/冲动 (HI) 症状严重程度以及有氧健身水平对学业和社交功能的主要影响和交互影响（M年龄= 6.83；53% 男性；68% 白人、14% 混血儿、8% 黑人或非裔美国人；2% 亚洲人；8% 在报告种族身份时选择“其他”类别；跨种族类别，15% 被确定为西班牙裔或拉丁裔）。使用多阶段体能测试评估儿童的有氧体能水平。家长评估儿童的多动症症状，教师评估学业和社交功能。结果强调了多动症症状严重程度与适应性学术和社会功能之间的负相关性。有氧健身与学业成绩呈正相关。有氧健身调节了 HI 症状严重程度与学业成绩之间的关联，强调有氧健身可能可以保护 HI 症状加重的儿童免受学业障碍。
