Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine the association between physical fitness and academic achievement and to determine the influence of socioeconomic status (SES) on the association between fitness and academic achievement in school-aged youth. Compared to all other variables, SES appears to have the strongest association with academic achievement. However, high fitness levels are positively associated with academic achievement in school-aged youth.
