Abstract
Conocer qué variables pueden predecir el Expediente Académico ( es de gran interés
para mejorar los resultados de aprendizaje. El objetivo de la investigación fue determinar si el nivel
de estudios de los progenitores, así como las horas de Actividad Física (AF) semanal, el Volumen
Máximo de Oxígeno (VO 2 máx.) y el Tiempo de Pantalla (TP) de los jóvenes, pueden predecir el EA
de los adolescentes. La muestra incluyó a 2399 personas entre 10 y 16 años de Mallorca, de las
cuales 1224 eran chicas (51%) y 1175 chicos (49%). En coordinación con distintos centros
educativos, se aplicó un cuestion ario de hábitos de práctica deportiva en jóvenes. El VO 2 máx., fue
estimado mediante la prueba de Course Navette, y el EA fue aportado por los propios centros
educativos. Una edad más joven ( β = 0.170; p = 0.001), ser chica β = 0.354; p = 0.001), una me jor
Aptitud Cardiorrespiratoria (AC) ( β = 0.046; p < 0.001), padres con un mayor nivel de estudios β =
0.673; p < 0.001) y pasar un menor TP entre semana β = 0.039; p = 0.001), predicen un mejor EA
de los adolescentes. Estudios futuros que investiguen un vínculo predictivo entre distintos
comportamientos de estilo de vida saludables y diferentes variables socio personales, y el RA, son
relevantes para fortalecer los hallazgos de este estudio y otros similares.
Knowing which variables can predict the Academic Performance (AP) is of great interest to improve learning outcomes. The aim of the study was to determine whether parents’ academic education, as well as weekly hours of Physical Activity (PA), Maximum Volume of Oxygen (VO2max), and Screen Time (ST), can predict the AP of adolescents. The study included 2399 young people aged 10 to 16 years from Mallorca (1224 girls, 51%, and 1175 boys, 49%). In coordination with various schools, a questionnaire on sports habits was administered to the participants. The Course Navette test was administered to estimate the VO2 max., besides the students’ AP was provided by the school. The results showed that being younger (β = - 0.170; p = 0.001), being a girl (β = -0.354; p = 0.001), having better Cardiorespiratory Fitness (CF) (β = 0.046; p < 0.001), having parents with a higher academic education (β = 0.673; p < 0.001), and spending less ST on weekdays (β = - 0.039; p = 0.001), predict a better AP in adolescents. Future studies investigating a predictive link between different healthy lifestyle behaviors, various socio-personal variables, and their relationship with AP, are important for strengthening the findings of this and similar studies.
