Resumo

The relationship between academic performance and physical condition has mainly been researched in studies of a cross-sectional nature that have largely focused on non-Spanish subjects. In this longitudinal study information was gathered from 100 students of 3rd and 4th years of ESO and 1st year of Bachillerato during the academic years 2009/10, 2010/11 and 2011/12 in a Galician state school. The level of physical condition was determined through the results obtained in a series of physical tests aimed at assessing aerobic endurance, explosive strength, agility and flexibility adapted to the age of the students. Grades earned were taken as a benchmark of academic performance for the subjects of Spanish and mathematics. A direct and significant association was found only in boys between each of the physical capacities assessed and the academic performance in mathematics during the three-year evaluation period. The predictive model developed indicated that aerobic endurance was the most influential physical capacity on the probability of obtaining a positive academic performance, regardless of the academic year and sex. These results suggest that the relationship between physical condition and academic performance (using grades in Spanish and mathematics as an assessment tool) seems to be influenced both by sex and the type of cognitive ability involved in the subject areas under study.
