SUMMARY:

 

Introduction: Sport has beneficial effects on various mental health outcomes, and regular participation in physical activity is linked to improved brain function and cognition.Objective: To verify the relationship between sports practice and cognitive aspects and school performance, considering the maturational stage.Methods: The sample consisted of 75 young people from 10 to 14 years old, both genders, being divided into two groups: group I (Non-Sport) who only practice physical education at school, and group II (Sport) who practice sports in sports initiation schools on a regular basis, as well as providing physical education at school. All subjects are in public schools. Inhibitory control was verified by the Go / No Go Test and FDT. The maturational stage was determined by the bone age equation and for school performance the average grade of the report card provided by the schools was made.Results: No correlation was found between bone age and school performance, as well as for cognitive tests and grades (p> 0.05). However, when comparing the performance in the FDT test between the groups, it was observed that the sport group obtained fewer errors in all phases of the test (p <0.05) and better performances in the GO / No Go test [7.58 ± 0.14; p = 0.001], presenting better scores, consequently a better inhibitory control.Conclusion: It was concluded that the maturation observed through bone age, as well as the cognitive aspects did not correlate with school performance. However, when comparing the groups, it is observed that the young people who practice sports had better performances on cognitive tests. Despite having greater cognitive ability in parameters such as inhibitory control, sports practitioners showed results of school performance similar to non-practitioners, suggesting that other aspects may be related to the school performance of young people in this age group.
