Official Title: The Effect of the Drug Methylphenidate on Physiological Stress and Function During Exposure to Exercise and Heat Stress in ADD/ADHD Treated Patients

Brief Summary: The purpose of this study is to explore the possible effects of MPH use on physiological functions among ADHD\ADD patients, by performing a set of physical trials to assess aerobic and anaerobic capacity, to characterize the tendency for muscle break down while performing monitored moderate physical effort and to assess the physiological strain while performing moderate exercise in heat load conditions by using the heat tolerance test.
