ROSA, A; GARCIA CANTO, E  e  CARRILLO, PJ. Health perception, physical activity and physical fitness in school children. CPD [online]. 2018, vol.18, n.3, pp.179-189.  Epub 26-Jul-2021. ISSN 1989-5879.

The aim of this study was to analyze the relationship between health,perception of physical activity and physical fitness in schoolchildren. Health perception was assessed using the Health Behavior in School-aged Children questionnaire. Physical activity was estimated using the Comparative Physical Activity Scale. The physical fitness was measured by the ALPHA-Fitness Battery. A convenience sample of 103 Spanish schoolchildren (63 females) aged between 8-12 years was used. The results showed that schoolchildren with good / very good health perception had higher aerobic capacity and lower values in body max index, waist circumference and hip perimeter, schoolchildren with greater physical activity showed better values of speed-agility and aerobic capacity and schoolchildren with good/very good health perception and greater physical activity obtained lower values in body max index, hip perimeter and higher in aerobic capacity. These results suggest the existence of a direct relationship between health perception, physical activity and physical fitness.

Palavras-chave : Schoolchildren; health; physical exercise; aerobic capacity.
