Abstract Cognitive and physical stress have significant effects on brain health, particularly through their influence the central executive network (CEN). The CEN, which includes regions such as dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, anterior cingulate cortex inferior parietal lobe, is to managing demands of cognitively challenging motor tasks. Acute can temporarily reduce connectivity within leading impaired cognitive function emotional states. However a rebound in these states often follows, driven by motivational signals mesocortical mesolimbic pathways, help sustain inhibitory control task execution. Chronic exposure challenges leads long‐term improvements CEN functionality. These changes are supported neurochemical, structural systemic adaptations, including mechanisms tissue crosstalk.

Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental condition marked by difficulties with attention, increased activity levels, and impulsive behaviour, which can impact social, academic, work-related performance. Its presence in adults often overlooked inadequately addressed. Emerging research suggests link between ADHD unhealthy lifestyles, including sedentary substance use, effort discounting, decision-making process where individuals undervalue rewards requiring significant physical or cognitive effort. This study investigates the association symptoms, indicators of lifestyles young adults. We recruited 181 participants aged 18-33 years. They completed Effort-Expenditure for Rewards Task (EEfRT) hypothetical effort-discounting task, alongside questionnaires assessing developmental co-ordination (DCD) activity, alcohol, tobacco drug use. A logistic mixed model was used to analyze decisions, while regression analyses assessed influence symptoms discounting on lifestyle indicators. EEfRT decisions were significantly influenced reward probability, monetary value, medication status, whereas choices task money, symptoms. When exploring all variables, positively correlated smoking, DCD. Effort associated smoking higher BMI alcohol consumption.
