As the number of people receiving medication for ADHD is ever expanding, it is becoming exceedingly important to understand how these medications affect the body during exercise. Currently the most common forms of medication used to tread ADHD symptoms are stimulants. These increase the levels of some neurotransmitters in the brain by inhibiting them from being reabsorbed as they naturally would. The increase in the level of neurotransmitters, especially dopamine and norepinephrine, helps control ADHD symptoms by temporarily improving focus and other cognitive functions [1] .
