Are children and adolescents with ADHD less physically fit? Findings from a systematic review and meta-analysis

CONCLUSION: Children and adolescents with ADHD exhibit comparable levels of muscular strength and flexibility to their TD peers. Evidence on cardiorespiratory fitness is mixed and depends on assessment methods: field-based tests indicate lower performance in ADHD, while laboratory peak oxygen uptake (VO₂peak) and resting heart rate measures show no significant differences.
