		After all, gymnastics is a sport that requires intense focus.

		Because of the attentional demands that gymnastics places upon its participants, it is the author's experience that an ADHD child will most likely succeed in the sport if he or she is placed on a medication that will raise neurotransmitter levels to normal.
