Motor Performance of Children with Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder: A Preliminary Investigation
William J. Harvey and Greg Reid
The purpose of this study was to describe the fundamental gross motor skills and fitness conditions of children with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Nineteen children, ages 7 to 12, participated. Gross motor performance was measured by the Test of Gross Motor Development (Ulrich, 1985). Fitness variables were measured by selected items from the Canada Fitness Survey (Fitness Canada, 1985), the CAHPER Fitness-Performance II Test (CAHPER, 1980), and the 20 m Shuttle Run Test (Leger, Lambert, Goulet, Rowan, & Dinelle, 1984). Percentile scores provided individual and group profiles of performance. It was concluded that fundamental gross motor performance and physical fitness of children with ADHD are substantially below average.

Fundamental movement skills (FMS), the principal elements of motor development ( Reeves, Broeder, Kennedy-Honeycutt, East, & Matney, 1999 ), are gross motor skills that young children acquire and develop as they age ( Klingberg, Schranz, Barnett, Booth, & Ferrar, 2019 ). Higher competence in FMS
