Study Summary

This trial will test whether two interventions for ADHD are feasible and effective in college students.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for University of Wisconsin-Madison undergraduates who have a documented diagnosis of ADHD. It's designed to see if non-drug treatments can help with their condition. Students must be willing and able to participate in the interventions.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study is testing two types of physical activity, Exercise and Tai Chi, as potential treatments for ADHD in college students. The goal is to determine how feasible these interventions are as non-pharmacological options.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Since the interventions involve exercise and Tai Chi, side effects may include typical exercise-related discomforts such as muscle soreness or fatigue. However, these activities are generally considered safe.

3Treatment groups

Experimental Treatment

Active Control

Group I: Tai ChiExperimental Treatment1 Intervention

Participants in this arm will attend 50-minute classes 2 times per week for 8 weeks. The course will emphasize experiential learning with 2 weeks of introductory sessions on gait, posture, and tai chi principles followed by instruction in the 24-form Yang style sequence. Students will be given a video to aid learning outside of class, and maintenance of practice post-intervention.

Group II: ExerciseActive Control1 Intervention

Participants in the exercise arm will attend 50-minute classes 2 times per week for 8 weeks. The course will emphasize cardio-aerobic fitness training. Students will be given a video to aid practice outside of class, and maintenance of practice post-intervention.

Group III: ControlActive Control1 Intervention

Participants in the control arm will not attend a class and not be given a video.
