Motor Attention Training for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)

Conditions

The investigators will perform a feasibility/pilot trial of two non-pharmacological interventions for ADHD in college students.

Experimental: Tai Chi
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.
Active Comparator: Exercise
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.
No Intervention: Control
Participants in the control arm will not attend a class and not be given a video.
