Rebounding for ADD

Doctors are now prescribing exercise as an effective form of treatment for patients suffering from attention defecit disorder also know as ADD.  

Attention defecit disorder  is a biological disorder of the brain.  It affects 8%-10% of children and almost as many adults.  People with ADD often have trouble concentrating and can’t complete tasks.  Those affected by the disorder have a hard time learning in school and holding down a job in adult hood.  ADD is often surrounded by controversy concerning the overtreatment of individuals with medications such as Ritalin.  Studies are now beginning to show that exercise can greatly reduce and even eliminate the amount of medication a patient needs.

Exercise affects the brain by increasing the amounts of norephinephrine and dopamine.  Both of which are believed to be drivers of the attention system.  Exercise also activates the frontal cortex where executive functions are located.  People with ADD have low function in this area of the brain.
