"Effects of Desk-Bike Cycling on Phonological Working Memory Performanc" by Margina Ruiter, Emma Görlich et al.
We investigated the effects of active workstations on cognitive control functions in individuals diagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). In a fully counterbalanced randomized control design, we examined the effects of cycling on a desk bike on phonological working memory (WM) in 18 adolescents with ADHD.
