Abstract

The aim was to analyze the relationship between aerobic capacity and academic performance in a sample of schoolchildren from six to nine years. Is a descriptive cross-sectional study composed of 185 schoolchildren (6-9 years). Aerobic capacity was assessed using the Course-Navette test. The academic performance was calculated through the grade obtained by the students in the first evaluation made in the subjects of: language, mathematics, natural, social, English and artistic. Results show that the students with the highest aerobic capacity obtained better scores in the subjects of language (p = .012), mathematics (p = .011), natural (p = .014), social (p = .015), english (. 050), artistic (p = .042), core subjects (p = .038), special subjects (p = .007) and total academic performance (p = .006). So, Aerobic capacity seems to be a differentiator of academic performance in schoolchildren from six to nine years of age.
