This study examined differences in sport behavior between boys with and without AttentionDeficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Sport behavior was measured by parent-report on the Sports Behavior Checklist (SBC). The SBC assessed which sports the child had participated in, length of participation, aggression, emotional reactivity, frequency of injury, and frequency of disqualification across both team and individual sports settings. Results from the study showed that boys with ADHD displayed higher levels of aggression, emotional reactivity, and disqualification than did their non-ADHD peers. Additionally, both groups of boys displayed higher levels of aggression, emotional reactivity, and injury in team sports compared to individual sports. Practical implications for the parents of ADHD boys involved in sports are discussed. Results are also considered with respect to current theories of ADHD.
