영문 초록

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to determine whether cardiorespiratory fitness and leisure time physical activity in men screening positive for ADHD were low compared to age- and sex-matched reference values. Methods: 30 college men screening for ADHD were recruited. Data were collected between October 2014 and April 2015. Maximal cycle exercise tests were performed to assess cardiorespiratory fitness and typical 7-day leisure time physical activity was self- reported. Results: Mean cardiorespiratory fitness was 0.94 SD lower than age- and sex-matched reference values. Cardiorespiratory fitness and ADHD symptoms were significantly negatively associated (r= -.39). Leisure time physical activity was 0.3 SD lower than a prior study of 411 college students. A linear regression showed a significant prediction of cardiorespiratory fitness from the combination of ADHD symptoms and leisure time physical activity. Conclusions: Men screening positive for ADHD was characterized by low cardiorespiratory fitness and leisure time physical activity.
