- Abstract
This study aimed at assessing the effect of a multicomponent program on health-related physical fitness in schoolchildren. The sample included 120 students of early childhood and elementary education randomized into two groups: an intervention group (IG) that underwent a multicomponent program of physical sport activities along with nutritional education (n=60), and a control group (CG) that did not participate in the program (n=60). Nutritional status, VO2max., muscular strength/endurance and flexibility were evaluated in the beginning and after a 12-week intervention period. The results showed that the IG group changed the nutritional status and increased the VO2max, the muscular strength/endurance and flexibility (p<0.0001). The CG group showed no change in the VO2max and the muscular strength/endurance decreased (p<0.0001). Flexibility of the CG was lower than in the IG (p<0.0001). In conclusion, the multicomponent program improved health-related physical fitness of schoolchildren in basic education.
