This report aimed to systematically review the evidence for a differential association between objective and self-reported physical activity and cardiorespiratory fitness on academic achievement.
Systematic review.
Studies were identified from searches in Embase, Education Resources Information Center, PubMed, PsycINFO, SPORTdiscus and Web of Science databases from January 2000 to December 2016.
Eligibility criteria included cross-sectional, longitudinal and interventional study designs. Outcomes included students' school grade or a standardised test or measure of academic achievement. Explanatory variables were cardiorespiratory fitness and objective and self-reported physical activity. Inclusion criteria included school-aged children and adolescents aged-18 years (or students from primary to secondary school when student's participants age was not described) and articles published in English, Portuguese or Spanish.
A total of 51 articles met inclusion criteria: 41 cross-sectional, 2 intervention and 8 longitudinal studies. Results from 11 studies were inconsistent regarding the relationship between objectively measured physical activity and academic achievement. Ten of the 16 articles reported positive associations between self-reported physical activity and academic achievement. From the 22 studies that analysed the relationship between cardiorespiratory fitness and academic achievement, it was verified that they all generally support the beneficial effect of cardiorespiratory fitness on students' academic achievement.
Higher cardiorespiratory fitness may be important to enhance children and adolescents' health and, additionally, academic achievement. Due to a lack of consensus across studies, methodological issues associated with the assessment of physical activity should be considered when investigating physical activity and academic achievement.
本报告旨在系统地回顾客观和自我报告的身体活动与心肺适能对学业成绩的关联存在差异的证据。
系统综述。
从 2000 年 1 月至 2016 年 12 月，我们在 Embase、教育资源信息中心、PubMed、PsycINFO、SPORTdiscus 和 Web of Science 数据库中进行了检索，以确定研究。
纳入标准包括横断面、纵向和干预性研究设计。结果包括学生的年级或标准化考试或学业成绩的衡量标准。解释变量是心肺适能以及客观和自我报告的身体活动。纳入标准包括学龄儿童和青少年（18 岁以下）（或当学生的年龄未描述时，从小学到中学的学生），以及发表英文、葡萄牙文或西班牙文的文章。
共有 51 篇文章符合纳入标准：41 篇横断面研究、2 篇干预研究和 8 篇纵向研究。关于客观测量的身体活动与学业成绩之间的关系，有 11 项研究的结果不一致。在 16 篇报告自我报告的身体活动与学业成绩之间存在正相关关系的文章中，有 10 篇。在分析心肺适能与学业成绩之间关系的 22 项研究中，均证实心肺适能对学生的学业成绩有有益影响。
较高的心肺适能可能对增强儿童和青少年的健康以及学业成绩很重要。由于研究之间缺乏共识，在研究身体活动与学业成绩的关系时，应考虑与身体活动评估相关的方法学问题。
