Abstract

BACKGROUND

Research is emerging suggesting that fitness not only improves health, but enhances academic achievement in children. Many studies have found the strongest correlation with academic achievement to be aerobic fitness. The purpose of this study is to examine the influence of aerobic fitness and academic ranking on the association between improvements in students' aerobic fitness and their academic achievement.

METHODS

Data were collected from 1152 second- through fifth-grade students enrolled in 10 Midwestern schools. School-fixed effects models were used to estimate the impact of improved aerobic fitness from the fall to the spring semester on students' spring percentile rankings in math and reading.

RESULTS

Students whose progressive aerobic cardiovascular endurance run improved from the fall to spring semester moved up the national spring math percentile rankings by 2.71 percentiles (p < .001) for all students, 4.77 (p < .001) for less-fit students, and 3.53 (p < .05) for lower performing math students. No statistically significant relationship was found between improved aerobic fitness and reading achievement.

CONCLUSIONS

Improving fitness could potentially have the greatest academic benefit for those elementary students who need it the most-the less fit and the lower academic performers.

摘要

背景

有研究表明，健康不仅能改善健康状况，还能提高儿童的学业成绩。许多研究发现，与学业成绩相关性最强的是有氧健身。本研究旨在探讨有氧健身和学术排名对学生有氧健身提高与学业成绩之间关系的影响。

方法

从中西部 10 所学校的 1152 名二至五年级学生中收集数据。采用学校固定效应模型来估计从秋季到春季学期学生有氧心血管耐力跑步成绩提高对学生春季数学和阅读百分位排名的影响。

结果

与所有学生相比，秋季到春季学期渐进式有氧心血管耐力跑步成绩提高的学生，其春季全国数学百分位排名提高了 2.71 个百分点（p<0.001），对于身体素质较差的学生提高了 4.77 个百分点（p<0.001），对于数学成绩较低的学生提高了 3.53 个百分点（p<0.05）。然而，提高有氧健身与阅读成绩之间没有统计学上的显著关系。
