Effect of physical activity and fitness on executive functions and academic performance in children of elementary school. A systematic review

This systematic review sought to investigate the influence of physical activity and physical fitness on cognitive functions and academic performance. Studies were identified in four databases from January 2010 through January 2021. A total of 26 studies were selected after meeting the established cri...

Studies were identified in four databases from January 2010 through January 2021. A total of 26 studies were selected after meeting the established criteria. Nine studies showed an association between physical activity and physical fitness variables and academic performance. Cardiorespiratory fitness, speed-agility, motor coordination, and perceptual-motor skill had the strongest association with executive function, including attention, memory, inhibition and shifting in 17 studies. High levels of physical activity and physical fitness are associated with higher academic performance and executive function. More hours of Physical Education are needed to more effectively develop the cognitive aspects and physical fitness of children in elementary school.Esta revisión sistemática buscó investigar la influencia de la actividad física y la aptitud física en las funciones cognitivas y el rendimiento académico. Los estudios se identificaron en cuatro bases de datos desde enero de 2010 hasta enero de 2021. Se seleccionaron un total de 26 estudios después de cumplir con los criterios establecidos. Nueve estudios mostraron una asociación entre la actividad física y las variables de aptitud física y el rendimiento académico. La aptitud cardiorrespiratoria, la velocidad-agilidad, la coordinación motora y la habilidad perceptivo-motora tuvieron la asociación más fuerte con la función ejecutiva, incluida la atención, la memoria, la inhibición y el cambio en 17 estudios. Los altos niveles de actividad física y aptitud física están asociados con un mayor rendimiento académico y función ejecutiva. Se necesitan más horas de Educación Física para desarrollar de manera más efectiva los aspectos cognitivos y la aptitud física de los niños en la escuela primaria.Actividad Física y Deporte2022info:eu-repo/semantics/articlehttp://hdl.handle.net/10952/5718reponame:RIUCAM.
