The present study aimed to examine the relationship between physical fitness and academic performance, after controlling for potential confounds.
The sample comprised 2,324 college students representing three Chinese universities.
Physical fitness was measured using the Chinese National Student Physical Fitness Standard; academic performance (ie, Grade Point Average) and lifestyle behaviors were assessed using questionnaires. Academic performance and overall physical fitness were used to divide participants into three categories: low, moderate, and high.
Several physical fitness indicators systematically differed across the three academic performance categories. Additionally, overall physical fitness was positively associated with academic performance, even after controlling for the effects of lifestyle behaviors; those who belonged to the high overall physical fitness group had lower odds ratios of low academic performance than those belonging to the low overall physical fitness group.
Poor academic performance was related to low overall physical fitness . The probability of having poor academic performance was significantly lower among students with high physical fitness than those with low physical fitness.
本研究旨在在控制潜在混杂因素后，考察身体素质与学业成绩之间的关系。
样本包括来自三所中国大学的2324名大学生。
使用《国家学生体质健康标准》测量身体素质；使用问卷评估学业成绩（即平均绩点）和生活方式行为。学业成绩和总体身体素质被用于将参与者分为三类：低、中、高。
几个身体素质指标在三个学业成绩类别之间存在系统性差异。此外，即使在控制了生活方式行为的影响后，总体身体素质仍与学业成绩呈正相关；总体身体素质高的组比总体身体素质低的组学业成绩低的比值比更低。
学业成绩差与总体身体素质低有关。身体素质高的学生学业成绩差的概率显著低于身体素质低的学生。
