Abstract

The present work seeks to determine the effects of a physical-playful activity program as a pedagogical strategy to improve executive functions in Monteria schoolchildren with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, in this framework it has been determined that this school population presents alterations in executive functions, such as planning, organization, self-control variables associated with behavioral and behavioral aspects, these determined by a genetic, behavioral and environmental etiology, which trigger alterations and do not allow optimal cognitive, school, family and behavioral development of schoolchildren; This means that for the neurodevelopmental disorder various types of treatments have been implemented, including psychosocial, psychoeducational and pharmacological, the latter improve but also have adverse effects such as nausea, dizziness and arrhythmias at the autonomic level among other difficulties that alter executive functioning. However, in the last decade, physical exercise and play have emerged as a therapeutic treatment due to their effectiveness, low cost, and easy access for this population of high social vulnerability. In this sense, the study will be developed with a sample of 40 Monteria schoolchildren with attention deficit, hyperactivity and impulsivity ADHD between 8 and 14 years old. The type of research is a quantitative approach in which information collection techniques will be used with validated questionnaires such as the effect and structured and validated interviews, later they will be used for the analysis of the information with the SSPS and for the analysis and results through inferential and estimation statistical processing.
