Abstract: This study addresses the problem of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and its negative impact on the performance and social behavior of schoolchildren.It questions the role of a physical activity program in improving focus and reducing impulsive behaviors in these children.The study aimed to evaluate the impact of physical activities on improving focus and behavior, offering practical strategies for teachers and parents, and raising community awareness about the importance of early intervention to address these disorders.The research used a quasiexperimental method, where the sample of 20 subjects was divided into two equal groups (experimental and control) with pre-and post-measurements.A scale for attention deficit and hyperactivity was also used.The results showed a significant improvement in focus and a decrease in hyperactive behavior in children who participated in the physical activity program, leading to better academic performance and positive social behavior.The study recommends including the physical activity program in primary school curricula in Biskra, developing sports programs that combine physical exercises with mental focus, and providing teachers with guidelines on how to use these activities to improve the behaviors of children with the studied disorders in primary schools.
