这项研究检查了与健康相关的身体健康指标（心血管健康和身体质量指数）和学习成绩（得克萨斯州知识和技能评估）之间的关联。偏相关性一般更强的心血管：健身比身体质量指数，并始终在中学年级更强。混合模型回归分析显示，在控制了潜在的混杂变量后，健身和学业成绩之间存在适度的关联。健身对学业成绩的影响是积极的，但很小。一项单独的逻辑回归分析表明，较高的健身率增加了学校在该州获得示范性/公认学校地位的几率。学校健身成绩是表现较好的学校的一个指标。由于数据的横截面性质，无法推断因果关系的方向。
This study examined the associations between indicators of health-related physical fitness (cardiovascular fitness and body mass index) and academic performance (Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills). Partial correlations were generally stronger for cardiovascular:fitness than body mass index and consistently stronger in the middle school grades. Mixed-model regression analyses revealed modest associations between fitness and academic achievement after controlling for potentially confounding variables. The effects of fitness on academic achievement were positive but small. A separate logistic regression analysis indicated that higher fitness rates increased the odds of schools achieving exemplary/recognized school status within the state. School fitness attainment is an indicator of higher performing schools. Direction of causality cannot be inferred due to the cross-sectional nature of the data.
