SUMMARY:

INTRODUCTION: In recent years, the relationship between physical activity, fitness, cognitive function and academic performance in children has been receiving considerable attention. The benefits of an active childhood lifestyle have implications for public health and education. METHODS: Forty-eight children at an average of 10.5± 0.7 years old participated in the study, among whom 25 (52.1%) were boys and 23 (47.9%) were girls. In this research, reaction time (RT) and number of errors (NE) were analyzed in the specific inhibitory cognitive tests for food and general for toy. School performance test (TDE) was used to assess the children's performance in writing, reading and arithmetic. Cardiorespiratory fitness was assessed using the indirect Léger test. The normal distribution was verified using the Shapiro-Wilk test. After performing a description of the data, Pearson and Spearman's correlation coefficients. In significant correlations (p ≤ 0.05), the predictive power (R 2) of the independent variables over the dependent variables (cognitive variables) was determined by linear regression analysis. RESULTS: It was evidenced that the group with the highest oxygen consumption had a higher TR and a lower TDE performance compared to the other groups in the food inhibitory control test. In addition, we also found a significant correlation regarding the number of errors (food) and the reaction time in the inhibitory control for food with the percentage of children's fat. CONCLUSION: This study allows us to conclude that a higher level of cardiorespiratory fitness is not associated with better cognitive performance in this audience.
