This scoping review provides an overview of the relationship between physical activity, physical fitness, cognition, and academic outcomes in Latino school-aged children and identifies areas for future research. A primary search was conducted in PubMed, PsycINFO, Web of Science, and ERIC for original-research articles meeting the inclusion criteria; the search results were uploaded into PICO Portal and assessed by two independent reviewers. Of the 488 initial search results, 50 articles were eligible for full-text review, and 38 were included in this review. Most studies were cross-sectional, conducted in the United States or Chile, and included children 5-18 years old. Overall, the majority of articles reported positive associations between physical activity or physical fitness and cognitive outcomes ( = 11/12; 91.7%), and physical activity or physical fitness and academic outcomes ( = 22/28; 78.6%). In sum, this review provided consistent evidence for higher amounts of physical activity and greater physical fitness to be associated with various positive cognitive and academic outcomes in a school-aged Latino population. This scoping review also elucidated a substantial gap in the research regarding study design, with a discernible lack of interventional efforts. Future studies should test physical activity interventional strategies to optimize cognitive and academic outcomes in school-aged Latino populations.
本综述概述了拉丁裔学龄儿童的身体活动、身体素质、认知能力和学业成绩之间的关系，并确定了未来研究的领域。在PubMed、PsycINFO、科学网和教育资源信息中心进行了初步检索，以查找符合纳入标准的原创研究文章；检索结果上传至PICO门户，并由两名独立评审员进行评估。在488条初始检索结果中，50篇文章符合全文评审条件，38篇被纳入本综述。大多数研究为横断面研究，在美国或智利开展，研究对象为5至18岁的儿童。总体而言，大多数文章报告了身体活动或身体素质与认知结果（11/12；91.7%）以及身体活动或身体素质与学业成绩（22/28；78.6%）之间存在正相关。总之，本综述提供了一致的证据，表明较高水平的身体活动和更好的身体素质与拉丁裔学龄人群的各种积极认知和学业成果相关。本综述还揭示了研究设计方面存在的重大差距，明显缺乏干预性研究。未来的研究应测试身体活动干预策略，以优化拉丁裔学龄人群的认知和学业成果。
