Judo is a great sport for kids with many physical, psychological benefits. A recent Swiss study looked at the positive effect of 12 week, 120 minutes per week, Judo program on children with ADHD:
- Judo training increased visuospatial working memory capacity in children with ADHD.
- Increased contralateral delay activity at high memory load was found following judo training.
- This change indexed more effective maintenance processes and/or increased attentional control.
- Benefits for working memory capacity occurred despite no changes in motor skills.
