The Effect of a Course of Bray tonic Exercises on Improving Oppositional Disobedience and Anxiety in Children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder

Background: Children with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder are the first victims of emotional, behavioral and educational neglect, so the treatment of these children is necessary. Therefore, this study aims to determine the effect of a course of Bray tonic exercises on improving confrontational disobedience and anxiety in children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. Attention was designed and implemented.Method: In this semi-experimental research, ۴۰ female students aged ۸ to ۱۰ with coping behavior disorder were randomly divided into ۲ experimental groups (۲۰ people) and control group (۲۰ people). The mean score of confrontational anxiety and disobedience was measured before and after ۸ weeks of Bray tonic exercises, and finally the data was analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics such as analysis of variance using version ۲۱ of Spss software.Results: The mean and standard deviation of anxiety before performing Bray tonic exercises in the control and experimental groups were ۱۷.۳±۱۵.۸۰, ۲۱.۲±۱۰.۹۸ and after performing Bray tonic exercises in the control and experimental groups, respectively, ۳۰±۳.۱۸. ۱۸.۴±۳۵.۳۹, ۱۸.۱۷, as well as the mean and standard deviation of oppositional disobedience before performing Bray tonic exercises in the control and experimental groups, respectively, ۷.۴۰±۱.۲۳, ۸.۱۵±۷۴۵, and after performing Bray tonic exercises. In the control and experimental groups, it was ۷.۲۰±۱.۲۸, ۷.۲۰±۱.۹۵, respectively. Therefore, there is a significant difference between the amount of confrontational disobedience and anxiety of children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder before and after a period of Bray tonic exercises (p≤/۰۵).Conclusion: The results of this study showed that a course of Bray tonic exercises can improve confrontational disobedience and anxiety in children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.
