Background: Physical activity interventions positively influence executive functions in both the general population and individuals with ADHD. However, there is limited research focusing on school-aged children, who have the highest ADHD diagnosis rates. This study aims to provide targeted intervention strategies for improving executive function in this population, offering a practical reference for selecting specific exercise types when designing interventions for children with ADHD.

Exercise therapy is gradually becoming a widely used adjunct treatment for perinatal depression. Some studies have already focused on the relationship between physical activity and perinatal depression (PND).

Previous studies have shown that physical activity intervention has a positive impact on executive function in children and adolescents with ADHD, but there is limited research on attention problems in school-aged children with ADHD. There are still uncertainties about the appropriate physical activity interventions to improve attention problems in this population.

However, there is no consensus regarding the effects of physical activity on children's academic performance in general and in specific subjects. We conducted this systematic review and meta-analysis to identify forms of physical activity that are suitable for improving the physical activity levels and academic performance of children aged 12 years and under.

However, comparisons between different physical activity interventions still need to be made. This study is the first to analyze the effects of 10 different types of physical activity on children with ADHD through a network meta-analysis.

To address this problem, an efficient sparse method for DOA estimation is proposed in this paper, in which the effect of strong interference on the target DOA estimation is significantly reduced. An on-grid version of the grid evolution technique is then developed to nonuniformly refine the grid, thereby reducing the computational complexity while retaining reasonable accuracy.
