In the meantime, Hahn has already gathered scientific data documenting the beneficial influence of exercise on children diagnosed with ADHD. More than 90 children, mostly boys with an average age of eight and a half, participated in the study. At first, researchers tested motor skills and the ability to concentrate on problems. Some children were actually taking methylphenidate, and their parents were asked not to change the medication during the study so that the results would not be distorted.

The children were randomly assigned to three groups. Members of the first one played ball games most of the time, soccer and field hockey, learning techniques and tactics. That way, the researchers aimed to simulate how children played in the 1950s and 1960s when it was normal for them to spend summer days outside, playing in yards and fields. The participants of the second group rode mountain bikes, learned in-line skating, and took climbing lessons. Both sports programs lasted 90 minutes and took place twice a week. The third group was used as a control, with 37 ADHD-diagnosed children who did not play any sports at all.
