Abstract

The study aimed to identify the relationship between attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (attention deficit, hyperactivity, impulsivity) and Fundamental motor skills of children in primary school, and the problematic question was as follows: what kind of relationship that links between attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and Fundamental motor skills of primary school pupils?, and in order to reach the result, the study was conducted on a sample of 60 students of primary school children, using the descriptive correlational method. It was concluded that there is an inverse correlation (negative) between the dimensions of the scale of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (attention deficit, hyperactivity, impulsivity) and some Fundamental motor skills, by the increased acuity of this disorder the level of motor skills decreases and by the decreased acuity of this disorder the level of motor skills increases.
