Acute exercise has been found beneficial to cognitive function. It was worthy to find out how resting-state electroencephalographic (rEEG) could be changed by acute exercise. The first purpose of the present study was to investigate the rEEG differences between ADHD children and normal children. Second was to find out how rEEG could be changed by acute exercise compared to video control in children with ADHD. rEEG was recorded during eyes-open resting for 23 normal children and 19 children with ADHD combined subtype (all boys). The results indicated that ADHD children exhibited higher alpha power in central and central parietal region. Interaction effects after exercise/video control exhibited smaller theta in frontal, central, central parietal and smaller theta/alpha, theta/beta ratio in central parietal region whereas beta frequency decreased after both exercise and video. These findings supported deviated rEEG between normal and ADHD children and rEEG might be changed after exercise.
