"Get Physical to Get Results"
The best ways to build these brain muscles seem to be exercises that combine mental and physical activities, such as karate, dance, and yoga. Exercise alone increases levels of dopamine, which could improve concentration for hours after completion. But combine that exercise with a deep mental focus and patients may see even more positive results.
"I have businessmen that do not hold meetings unless they're between 9 and 11 in the morning," says Dr. Gimpel. "They go to the fitness center in the morning and create those perfect two hours of concentration without medication."
Martial arts such as TaeKwonDo have been shown to increase homework completion, academic performance, and classroom preparation while decreasing classroom misbehavior in male children diagnosed with ADHD, according to an unpublished 2004 dissertation written by Matthew K. Morand, Psy.D. "Any exercises that involve the coordination of complex movement stimulate the brain activities," says Dr. Gimpel.

"Social Competence refers to the emotional, social, and cognitive behaviors and skills needed for successful social adaptation. A child’s social competence depends upon a variety of factors, including the child’s social awareness, social skills, and self-confidence. TaeKwonDo is indicated in university studies to increase social competencies by helping students build confidence, channel aggressive energy, and create a positive self-image."
"Biomechanics is the science concened with the internal and external forces acting on the body and the effects produced by these forces. The International TaeKwonDo Alliance (the organization with which this TKD academy is affiliated with) has been consistently researching and evolving the stretching, lines of movement, and alignment principles that make up its art for more than twenty years, resulting in the Ho-Am TaeKwonDo forms used today."
Here's something to think about ---
Strength and courage aren't always measured in trophies and victories.
They are measured in the struggles we overcome.
The strongest people are not always the people who win,
but the people who don't give up when they lose.
