简要总结
This project investigates the effects of a bicycling exercise at three levels of exercise intensity (low, moderate, and high) on attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in college students. Specifically, the outcomes of interest in this study are self-reported executive functioning, self-reported functional impairment, and ADHD symptom severity. The hypothesis is that exercise will improve executive functioning, while reducing functional impairment and ADHD symptom severity, and that this response will be most pronounced in the high-intensity exercise group.

研究组 & 干预措施
Low Intensity
The low intensity arm will perform 20 minutes of steady-state cycling on an airdyne bike. Intensity will be confirmed with continuous heart rate measurement, and heart rate should not exceed 65% of maximal heart rate (220-age) in this arm.
干预措施: Cycling Exercise (Behavioral)
Moderate Intensity
The moderate intensity arm will perform 20 minutes of steady-state cycling on an airdyne bike, maintaining heart rate between 65-85% of maximal heart rate.
干预措施: Cycling Exercise (Behavioral)
High-Intensity
The high-intensity arm will perform a 3-minute steady-state cycling warm up on an airdyne bike, followed by 16 minutes of high intensity interval training (HIIT) cycling. The HIIT protocol consists of alternating periods of 20 seconds of high-intensity effort and 120 seconds of return to low-intensity steady-state cycling. The heart rate goal to ensure high-intensity effort is to maintain heart rate > 85% maximal heart rate during the 20 second high-intensity bursts.
干预措施: Cycling Exercise (Behavioral)
结局指标
主要结局
Self-Reported Executive Function
时间窗: The BDEFS will be assessed on the first day of participation in an exercise intervention (session 1) and again on the last day of the intervention (session 3). Session 1 occurs on a Monday, session 2 on a Wednesday, and Session 3 on a Friday.
Self-reported executive function will be measured using a modified version of the Barkley Executive Function Scale (BDEFS)
Self-Reported Functional Impairment
时间窗: The BFIS will be assessed on the first day of participation in an exercise intervention (session 1) and again on the last day of the intervention (session 3). Session 1 occurs on a Monday, session 2 on a Wednesday, and Session 3 on a Friday.
Self-Reported Functional Impairment will be measured using a modified version of the Barkley Functional Impairment Scale (BFIS)
Self-Reported ADHD Symptom Severity
时间窗: The BAARS-IV will be assessed on the first day of participation in an exercise intervention (session 1) and again on the last day of the intervention (session 3). Session 1 occurs on a Monday, session 2 on a Wednesday, and Session 3 on a Friday.
Self-Reported ADHD Symptom Severity will be measured using the Barkley Adult ADHD Rating Scale IV (BAARS-IV)
