Following the previous post, could you please share with me the previous framework of children’s physical fitness and academic achievement? I want to ensure I think ahead before its implementation in my evaluation project.

Add oil!

Thanks a lot!

Tomporowski and colleagues proposed a working model to guide researchers in this area. In the model, they identified psychosocial factors (e.g., self-esteem), physical fitness (e.g., cardiorespiratory), and health factors (e.g., obesity) as direct precursors to children’s mental functioning (e.g., academic achievement), and suggested that socioeconomic status (SES) level and gender may play a role as well and thus needed to be considered in the evaluation.
