Abstract:
Daily lifestyle factors such as quality of diet, physical activity, sleep behaviour, and screen time represent surging research interest in understanding and treating childhood ADHD due to the concerning side effects of medication. The present research examines significant factors related to lifestyle and participation in physical activity. In the survey study, parents regarding their children’s sleep, diet, screen time and physical activity variables as a novel attempt to examine potential mediation paths among the lifestyle variables. Constituting a mixed methods approach, interviews studies that explore the preferences and challenges to engaging children with ADHD in physical activity and exercise programs to promote more efficient exercise intervention and treatment programs for ADHD with cross-cultural insights between western (Australia) and eastern (Taiwan) countries.
