Many studies results suggest how can we improve the academic performance for our kids. The purposes of this study were to examine how physical activity could affect both academic achievement and fluid intelligence in adolescence.
We measured the three variables (physical, cognitive, academic) and try to find the correlations between them.
A total of 167 adolescents (mean age = 16.34 years SD = 1.2) from Morocco are participating in this study. The cardiorespiratory fitness was measured with the20 m endurance shuttle-run test. We also assessed the Resistance capacity with 500m sprint test. The academic achievement was assessed by school grades. The fluid intelligence was assessed by using Raven's Standard Progressive Matrices. We examined the correlation between all variables.
This study indicates that the academic achievement was positively associated with the Fluid Intelligence and also with the Resistance Capacity and not with Cardiorespiratory Fitness (VO2peak).
We can conclude that the professionals and researchers in sports and education have to promote physical activity at the school age for a public health purpose.
许多研究结果表明，我们可以如何提高孩子的学习成绩。本研究旨在探讨体育活动如何影响青少年的学业成绩和流体智力。
我们测量了三个变量（身体、认知、学术），并试图找出它们之间的相关性。
共有 167 名来自摩洛哥的青少年（平均年龄=16.34 岁，标准差=1.2）参与了这项研究。心肺功能通过 20 米耐力往返跑测试来测量。我们还通过 500 米冲刺测试来评估阻力能力。学业成绩由学校成绩评估。流体智力通过使用瑞文标准渐进矩阵进行评估。我们检查了所有变量之间的相关性。
本研究表明，学业成绩与流体智力呈正相关，与阻力能力也呈正相关，而与心肺功能（VO2peak）无关。
我们可以得出结论，体育和教育领域的专业人士和研究人员必须为了公共健康目的，在学校年龄推广体育活动。
