Abstract

To assess the fitness level of primary schoolchildren in relation to their physical activity level and identify potential gender differences in regard to the level of physical activity. 420 subjects (10.04 ± 1.26 years, 41.29 ± 11.56 mass kg., 9.32 ± size 142.44 cm. and 20.04 ± 4.24 BMI of kg/m2) we selected. They were divided into three groups regarding their level of physical activity An anthropometric (mass, height, BMI, waist-hip ratio), and physical fitness (handgrip strength, vertical jump, flexibility and maximal oxygen consumption) were evaluated. The results show lower difference on anthropometric characteristics. There are few differences in the level of physical activity, basically in fitness cardiorespiratory. Male show better values of vertical jump than female. In turn, female have higher values of flexibility
