The Relationship

The overlap between Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and learning disabilities is consistently reported in the literature. The relationship between attention and cognitive and behavioral functioning makes it difficult to disentangle behavioral from cognitive symptoms in children with learning disabilities. Historically, research on ADHD in children with learning disabilities has been wrought with methodological inconsistencies and is further confounded by the comorbidity of learning disabilities and ADHD. This article reviews the research specific to the relationship between learning disabilities and attention deficit disorders, both historical and current. Implications for future research relative to the increased specificity of the association between these disorders is discussed, with a focus on the need to decrease the heterogeneity of the populations studied by using subtypes of both learning disabilities and ADHD.

The Relationship

Children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) are characterized by a deviant pattern of brain oscillations during resting state, particularly elevated theta power and increased theta/alpha and theta/beta ratios that are related to cognitive functioning. Physical fitness has been found beneficial to cognitive performance in a wide age population. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the relationship between physical fitness and resting-state electroencephalographic (EEG) oscillations in children with ADHD. EEG was recorded during eyes-open resting for 28 children (23 boys and 5 girls, 8.66 ± 1.10 years) with ADHD, and a battery of physical fitness assessments including flexibility, muscular endurance, power, and agility tests were administered. The results indicated that ADHD children with higher power fitness exhibited a smaller theta/alpha ratio than those with lower power fitness. These findings suggest that power fitness may be associated with improved attentional self-control in children with ADHD.
