A combined program of physical activity and hypnosis-based mindfulness training reduced ADHD symptom severity and improved perceptual-motor abilities and dynamic balance in boys aged 8–11 with ADHD. The experimental group (20 participants) attended twice-weekly 60-minute sessions for three months; the control group (19 participants) received unsystematic emotion education. Symptom reductions were sustained at three- and six-month follow-ups. Static balance improved immediately after the intervention. The authors conclude that this structured combination may be a promising complementary intervention, but note that larger randomized controlled trials are needed to confirm the findings.
