This study aimed to examine the relationship between motor competence and executive function in school-aged children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) through a scoping review, providing an overview of the current state of research and its limitations. Literature searches were conducted in the PubMed and Scopus databases, yielding 10 eligible empirical studies, including 4 observational and 6 interventional designs. All included studies used objective assessment tools to measure motor competence (e.g., MABC-2, BOT-2) and executive function performance (e.g., Stroop test, Flanker task). The participants were predominantly children with ADHD aged 6-12 years. Most studies reported a positive association between motor competence and executive function, particularly in the domains of inhibitory control and working memory, indicating that children with better motor competence also demonstrated superior executive function. Interventional studies further showed that after 8-12 weeks of exercise training (e.g., exergaming, swimming, table tennis), participants exhibited improvements in various aspects of both executive function and motor performance, suggesting a dual enhancement effect of exercise on the physical and cognitive development of children with ADHD. This review provides preliminary evidence supporting a positive relationship between motor competence and executive function in children with ADHD. However, heterogeneity across studies and the lack of control for potential confounding factors limit the strength of the conclusions. Future research should address these limitations to inform the development of individualized exercise prescriptions for educational and clinical interventions aimed at promoting the holistic development of children with ADHD. |
