Scientific evidence regarding whether intellectually gifted children show similar physical activity habits and physical fitness levels in comparison to typically developed children, is inconclusive. This is in part due to the scant research that has directly compared both groups of people. In this study, physical activity prevalence, self-perceived and objectively assessed physical fitness levels, and body image were assessed in a sample of 74 intellectually gifted children (mean age 11.6 ± 1.2 years). Seventy-four non-gifted children matched by age and sex were selected as a comparison cohort. Results indicated that both groups showed similar self-perceived and objectively assessed fitness levels. Physical activity habits were also similar, although significant differences were observed indicating that intellectually gifted girls were less active in comparison with non-gifted girls. Both cohorts perceived their body image accurately, although intellectually gifted children were much more satisfied with their physical appearance.
关于与发育正常的儿童相比，智力超常儿童是否表现出相似的身体活动习惯和身体素质水平，科学证据尚无定论。部分原因在于直接比较这两组人群的研究较少。在本研究中，对74名智力超常儿童（平均年龄11.6±1.2岁）的样本进行了身体活动流行率、自我感知和客观评估的身体素质水平以及身体形象的评估。选择74名年龄和性别匹配的非超常儿童作为对照队列。结果表明，两组的自我感知和客观评估的身体素质水平相似。身体活动习惯也相似，尽管观察到显著差异，表明智力超常女孩与非超常女孩相比活动较少。两个队列都能准确感知自己的身体形象，尽管智力超常儿童对自己的外貌更满意。
