Abstract

The present survey attempts to investigate The effectiveness of physical activity that is inconsistent with Attention deficit – hyperactivity disorder(ADHD) to improve it. Therefore, a sample of 50 people including two sub-groups were randomly selected, using cluster sampling method among students suffering from decreasing attention deficit in Tehran: : an examining group including 25 people were put into Pilates physical activity and a control group including that had no physical activity. The required information were gathered by the means of SNAP-IV and CBCL questionnaires for students aged 6 to 18. In order to analyze the obtained information, in addition to descriptive statistics, we also used deductive statistics including the analysis of multiple variable covariance (MANCOVA), alongside examining the congruity of the presumed regression coefficients as well as examining the congruity of the presumed in-group variance, using Levin and Shapiro-Willck tests to study the normality of the distributed data.
The results show that physical activity that is inconsistent with Attention deficit – hyperactivity disorder (Pilates), have a positive effect on decreasing Attention deficit – hyperactivity disorder syndroms.
