This book was released on 2019 with total page 67 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research aim: The aim of this research was to study the correlation between academic performance with physical performances and daily habits in pre-adolescent students in North Lebanon. Methods: This study has been conducted during the spring 2019 semester, in North Lebanon, at Minyeh Al-Arz Educational Compound. 187 students, of grades 2 and 3 French and English departments has been involved in this study. Children were asked to fill a questionnaire about their daily habits, and passed some physical and one cognition test. General average was collected from the schools administration for each child. Results: The main findings of this study are that PA and academic performance are correlated. Also BMI and aerobic capacity has been shown to contribute to the enhancement of academic achievements. Nevertheless, sleeping hours, and screen time seem also to effect academic performance and PA performances and level. Conclusion: In this group of 187 children aged between 8 and 9 years old, physical activity, and different daily habits are correlated with academic performance, yet certain measures should be taken into account to stimulate the positive correlation.

This book was released on 2015 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It was not known if, or to what degree, a relationship existed among academic achievement in science, physical fitness, and preadolescent obesity. This quantitative, correlational study explored the relationship between physical fitness, preadolescent obesity, and academic achievement in 136 seventh grade students at an urban middle school in South Carolina who received 50 minutes of physical education daily for one semester. The researcher hypothesized that the level of physical fitness influences preadolescent obesity and academic performance. The hypotheses stated that there would be a positive correlation between physical fitness and achievement in science, a negative correlation between preadolescent obesity and achievement in science, and a negative correlation between fitness and preadolescent obesity. Pearson product-moment correlations were used to test the hypotheses. Physical fitness was measured using the FitnessGram. Academic performance was measured using the science benchmark assessment. The results revealed that physical fitness was positively correlated with academic achievement (r = .32, p = .001), obesity was negatively related to academic achievement (r = -.27, p = .001), and students' BMI was negatively related to physical fitness (r = -.71, p

Download or read book An Analysis of the Relationship of Performance on Health related Fitness Standards and Academic Achievement for Eighth Grade Campuses written by Misty Lashae Walters and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a result of decades of accountability beginning with No Child Left Behind legislation, students’ academic achievement has become the primary focus of schools. As schools focused more on academics, opportunities for physical activity often decreased. The school setting offers the greatest potential to increase physical activity for more than 55 million students per year. Texas schools have continuously tried to find a balance between the pressures of academic achievement and the necessity of students’ physical activity. Policymakers need targeted research results in order to provide legislation that will both meet federal physical activity recommendations and increase academic performance in schools. The purpose of the present study was to examine the relationship between performance on FITNESSGRAM Health-Related Fitness Standards (in two categories: Muscular Endurance and Strength) and campus-level average STAAR scores in 8th grade Reading and Math. Participants included stratified random samples of student populations from each of the 20 Educational Service Center Regions in Texas. Hierarchical regression analysis was used to determine the predictive validity of performance on HRFS to STAAR scores. A Pearson correlation was conducted and the results suggested a positive correlation between students’ performance on Health-Related Fitness Standards (HRFS) and academic achievement. A regression analysis was run to explore the relationship between students’ performance on Health-Related Fitness Standards (HRFS) and academic achievement (predictors) as measured by campus-level STAAR scores. The study revealed that performance on Health-Related Fitness Standards (HRFS) impacted campus-level academic achievement.

Download or read book The Relationship Between Middle Childhood Body Mass Index Stress Physical Activity and Academic Achievement written by Johnna Kellie Fox Thompson and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study investigated the relationships between body mass index (BMI), stress, physical activity, and academic achievement among middle childhood students. The researcher used a mixed-methods research design. The general population for this study was composed of students at one of the district's intermediate schools. -- The sample included 680 students from a small, suburban intermediate school (Grades 4 [N=231], 5 [N=218], and 6 [N=231], 337 males and 343 females). The school is located in a suburban area near a large city in the southeast. The students from the school described themselves as White (71%), African American (16%), Hispanic (7%), Asian/Pacific Islander (2%), Multi-Racial (4%), Economically Disadvantaged (39%), Limited English Proficient (2%), Students with Disabilities (17%), and Academically Gifted (26%). -- Participants were weighed and measured to establish valid BMI. The physical education teacher took all of the measurements. Academic achievement was obtained using district benchmark test results and report card grades. Tardies, in-school suspensions, and out-of-school suspensions for the first quarter of the 2012-2013 school year were also used. Reading and math grades for the first 9-week grading period were collected by the school data manager. District benchmark data were collected by the assistant principal. Data from physical education classes measuring student stress and physical activity were collected and coded with each student's number by the physical education teacher. Data collection included interviews with teachers to determine teacher perceptions regarding childhood obesity, stress, physical activity, and the relationship these have with academic performance. -- Based on BMI classifications for age and sex, nearly 40% were either classified as underweight (n=39), overweight (n=86), or obese (n=118). A significant correlation existed for academic achievement between BMI and language arts grades, math benchmarks, and science benchmarks (for fifth grade only). There was also a significant correlation between BMI and stress levels for students in fourth, fifth, and sixth grades. No other significant differences were discovered between BMI, academic performance, and physical activity levels.
