The study mainly investigates the effect of high-intensity interval training on conflict monitoring in children with ADHD by using event-related potential and sLORETA techniques.
The present study will have two experiments, one is a cross-section study and the other is intervention study. As for cross-section study, typical developmental children and children with ADHD will perform the stroop task while recording their brain waves. The intervention is twice a week for 5 weeks and before and after the intervention, children with ADHD will randomly assign to either an exercise group or control group. They will perform the stroop task while recording their brain waves.

Behavioral performance
reaction time (ms) is generated by computerized task defined as correct responses within the range from 200-1500 ms
Time frame: Day 0 and post-intervention at Week 5
Behavioral performance
response accuracy (percentage) is generated by computerized task defined as percentage of trials that successfully responded to target stimulus
Time frame: Day 0 and post-intervention at Week 5
N2 & P3 components
Electroencephalographic (EEG) activity will be measured at 64 sites. The amplitude of the N2 is defined as the mean amplitude within a 50-ms interval surrounding the maximal negative peak within a 200- to 400-ms latency window. The amplitude of the P3 is defined as the mean amplitude within a 50-ms interval surrounding the maximal positive peak within a 300- to 800-ms latency window.
Time frame: Day 0 and post-intervention at Week 5
