Impact of physical fitness on adolescent health and academic and cognitive performance: Systematic review
Impacto de la aptitud física en la salud y el rendimiento académico y cognitivo de los adolescentes: revisión sistemática
Impacto da aptidão física na saúde e no desempenho acadêmico e cognitivo do adolescente: Revisão sistemática
Resumen (es)
Entre los adolescentes, la actividad física también puede mejorar el rendimiento académico y los resultados cognitivos. La investigación sobre el impacto de las intervenciones de actividad física en la escuela en el rendimiento académico de los estudiantes es limitada. Este estudio realiza una revisión sistemática del impacto de la aptitud física y el ejercicio en la salud de los adolescentes, así como en el rendimiento académico y cognitivo. Se adoptó el método PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses). Los resultados indican que el ejercicio aeróbico puede mejorar la memoria y la atención, el metabolismo del hipocampo y el rendimiento académico en adolescentes, junto con otros aspectos del bienestar físico y mental. Además, se enfatiza la importancia de introducir programas escolares que fomenten la actividad física para prevenir el sedentarismo y mejorar el aprendizaje en este grupo de edad.
Resumen (en)
Among adolescents, physical activity can also improve academic performance and cognitive outcomes. Research on the impact of school-based physical activity interventions on students’ academic performance is limited. This study conducts a systematic review of the impact of physical fitness and exercise on adolescent health, as well as academic and cognitive performance. The PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) method was adopted. The results indicate that aerobic exercise can enhance memory and attention, hippocampal metabolism, and academic performance in adolescents, along with other aspects of physical and mental well-being. Additionally, the importance of introducing school programs that encourage physical activity to prevent a sedentary lifestyle and enhance learning among this age group is emphasized.

Os resultados indicam que o exercício aeróbico pode melhorar a memória e a atenção, o metabolismo do hipocampo e o desempenho acadêmico em adolescentes, juntamente com outros aspectos do bem-estar físico e mental. Além disso, enfatizamos a importância de introduzir programas escolares que fomentem a atividade física para prevenir o sedentarismo e melhorar a aprendizagem neste grupo de educação.
