Children with ADHD are frequently clumsy and involved in bullying, both as victims and perpetrators. The relationship between motor skills and bully status is poorly understood. The aim of the current study was to evaluate the effect of motor skills in childhood on bully victimization/perpetration in those with ADHD. In this cross-sectional study, 403 adults diagnosed with ADHD filled out a questionnaire on their recall of bully victimization, bully perpetration, performance in physical education (PE) (defined as performance below average in i.e., ball dexterity, coordination or agility) as a proxy for motor skills, and academic skills at age 12, as compared to their peers. Of the current sample, 63% remembered being victimized and 31% noted they were perpetrators. Thirty-two percent recalled that they performed below average in PE. Being diagnosed with ADHD and having poor motor skills was strongly associated with bully victimization (OR = 2.63; 95% CI:1.62, 4.27, p < .001). Victimization was more common during all measured time periods, from nursery school until the age of 15, among those with poor performance in PE as compared to those without poor performance. No relationship was found between poor motor skills and bully perpetration. CONCLUSION: A crucial role of the cerebellum is coordination and the linking of sequenced motor actions through milli-second timing. Aberrations in this ability makes a person present as "different", which was stated as the most common reason for social exclusion by other children. Therefore, subtle clumsiness (presumed by poor performance in PE class) is suggested to mirror deficits in social skills, which is intuitively observed by peers, leading to victimization.
患有注意缺陷多动障碍（ADHD）的儿童经常笨拙，并且参与欺凌行为，既是受害者又是加害者。运动技能与欺凌者地位之间的关系尚未得到充分理解。本研究旨在评估儿童时期运动技能对 ADHD 患者的欺凌受害/加害的影响。在这项横断面研究中，403 名被诊断患有 ADHD 的成年人填写了一份问卷，内容涉及他们对欺凌受害、欺凌加害、体育（PE）表现（定义为球灵巧性、协调性或敏捷性等方面的平均水平以下）的回忆，以及 12 岁时的学业技能，与他们的同龄人相比。在当前的样本中，63%的人记得自己曾是受害者，31%的人表示自己是加害者。32%的人回忆说他们在 PE 中表现不佳。被诊断患有 ADHD 和运动技能差与欺凌受害强烈相关（OR=2.63；95%CI：1.62，4.27，p<0.001）。与运动技能不差的人相比，在 PE 表现不佳的人中，在所有测量时间段（从幼儿园到 15 岁），受害者更为常见。没有发现运动技能差与欺凌加害之间的关系。结论：小脑的一个关键作用是协调和通过毫秒定时链接序列运动动作。这种能力的异常会使一个人显得“与众不同”，这是其他孩子表示社交排斥的最常见原因。因此，微妙的笨拙（假定为体育课成绩不佳）反映了社交技能缺陷，这是同伴直观观察到的，导致受害。
