Resumen

El objetivo principal de este estudio fue conocer el perfil evolutivo de la función ejecutiva (FE) y la madurez intelectual (MI) en relación con la condición físico-motora en niños preescolares. Han participado 81 niños, de edades comprendidas entre 3 a 6 años, 44 niños y 37 niñas. Se realizaron pruebas de condición física de fuerza, equilibrio, velocidad, resistencia y tiempo de reacción. Se analizaron las FE y la MI con los test de Laberintos de Porteus y el test de Goodenough respectivamente. En la evolución de las variables cognitivas y de condición física según la edad de los niños, se observan diferencias significativas entre los grupos de edad. La velocidad de desplazamiento junto con la dinamometría manual y el tiempo de reacción son variables que se asocian a las FE y a la MI. Por tanto, existe un paralelismo evolutivo entre el desarrollo de la FE y MI con el desarrollo de la condición física.
