Abstract
BackgroundAttention Deficit Disorder (ADHD) is a common neurodevelopmental disorder that seriously affects athletes’ training and competition performance. Traditional drug treatment methods such as atomoxetine can improve symptoms, but there are also side effects. Featured football teaching, as a new nondrug treatment method, is worth exploring its therapeutic effect.Subjects and MethodsThis study recruited 60 athletes diagnosed with ADHD and randomly divided them into an intervention group and a control group, with 30 participants in each group. The intervention group received characteristic football teaching and atomoxetine treatment, while the control group only received atomoxetine treatment. The research period is 12 weeks, and quantitative evaluation is conducted using the ADHD rating scale and the exercise performance rating scale.ResultsAfter the study, the ADHD scores of both groups of athletes decreased, while the exercise performance scores of the intervention group were significantly higher than those of the control group. The statistical analysis results show that feature-based football teaching has a significant effect on improving athletes’ attention deficit and improving sports performance.ConclusionsFeatured football teaching emerges as an effective means to enhance concentration and performance among athletes with ADHD. As a non-pharmacological intervention, its therapeutic impact is noteworthy, meriting promotion and practical application. Future research could delve into exploring the personalized football teaching’s therapeutic effects on diverse ADHD athlete profiles, striving to develop tailored treatment plans for athletes with ADHD.
