The Relationship between Physical Fitness and Academic Performance in Children Aged 10 to 12 Years Old

  • Ramiro Eduardo Moreno Vaca Vaca
Palabras clave: Condición física, desempeño académico, niños

Resumen

Introducción: El desempeño académico podría estar condicionado por la aptitud física; las investigaciones sugieren que los estudiantes con mayores niveles de condición física consiguen mejores resultados en áreas básicas (Santana et al., 2017). Objetivo: Este proyecto de investigación tiene como objetivo analizar la relación entre las capacidades físicas de fuerza y resistencia con el desempeño académico de matemáticas y lectura en niños de 10 a 12 años. Métodos: El estudio es de enfoque cuantitativo, diseño no experimental, tipo transversal y alcance descriptivo. La intervención se realizó con 47 estudiantes de 10 a 12 años. La batería de pruebas de FitnessGram se implementó para evaluar las capacidades físicas y las pruebas PENSAR se utilizaron para valorar el desempeño académico.Resultados: Por medio del software SPSS, se evidencia en la muestra total que existe una correlación positiva entre la capacidad de resistencia y el desempeño en matemáticas y lectura; asimismo, también se presenta una correlación positiva entre fuerza y matemáticas. Conclusión: La condición física tiene una correlación positiva con el desempeño académico en la muestra total, pero esta no es significativa cuando se analiza únicamente el género femenino. Finalmente, la correlación entre fuerza y matemáticas y también entre resistencia y lectura son significativas en el género masculino, pero se presentan en dirección negativa.
