This article presents a systematic review of the literature that analyzed executive functions and physical activity in children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. The study followed two questions: Whether attention deficit hyperactivity disorder affects executive functions in children, and whether we can influence executive functions with properly designed physical activity. The search for literature took place in November l. 2020. In 4 electronic collections: WOS (Web of Science), PMC (PubMed Central), SD (Science Direct) and ERIC (Education Resources Information Center). The search was based on 4 key elements: (1) population - children aged 6 to 12 years; (2) type of research - controlled experiment; (3) activity - physical activity; (4) intervention - the impact of physical activity on executive functions in children with ADHD. The following keywords were used in the mentioned databases: "attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder", "ADHD", "children", "kids", "executive function", "working memory", "physical activity", "exercise", "work-out program". We used "or" or "and" among the keywords. We also used the following filters: language: English; type of literature: article from a professional journal and with a professional review; summary: available.
