| Resumo: | INTRODUCTION: The benefits of an active lifestyle seem to have implications for the
health and education of children. OBJECTIVE: To investigate levels of cardiorespiratory
fitness and body composition with specific inhibitory control and academic performance
in children aged 9 to 11 years. METHODS: Forty-eight children with a mean age of 10.5
± 0.7 years participated in the study, among whom 25 (52.1%) were boys and 23
(47.9%) were girls. To analyze the correlation between the variables, Pearson and
Spearman correlation coefficients were used. In significant correlations (p ≤ 0.05), the
predictive power (R2
) of the independent variables over the dependent variables
(cognitive variables) was determined by linear regression analysis. RESULTS: It was
evidenced that the group with greater cardiorespiratory fitness had a longer reaction time
(RT) in the inhibitory food control test and a lower performance in the school
performance test (SPT) compared to the other groups of low and moderate
cardiorespiratory fitness. In addition, we observed that children witha higher percentage
of fat had more errors in the specific inhibitory cognitive test for food and a shorter
reaction time for food. CONCLUSION: This study allows us to conclude that a higher
level of cardiorespiratory fitness is not related to better cognitive performance in this
population. |
