Book Description
It was not known if, or to what degree, a relationship existed among academic achievement in science, physical fitness, and preadolescent obesity. This quantitative, correlational study explored the relationship between physical fitness, preadolescent obesity, and academic achievement in 136 seventh grade students at an urban middle school in South Carolina who received 50 minutes of physical education daily for one semester. The researcher hypothesized that the level of physical fitness influences preadolescent obesity and academic performance. The hypotheses stated that there would be a positive correlation between physical fitness and achievement in science, a negative correlation between preadolescent obesity and achievement in science, and a negative correlation between fitness and preadolescent obesity. Pearson product-moment correlations were used to test the hypotheses. Physical fitness was measured using the FitnessGram. Academic performance was measured using the science benchmark assessment. The results revealed that physical fitness was positively correlated with academic achievement (r = .32, p = .001), obesity was negatively related to academic achievement (r = -.27, p = .001), and students' BMI was negatively related to physical fitness (r = -.71, p

Book Description
There is an abundance of research showing significant positive relationships between academic achievement and physical fitness. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between academic achievement and different levels of physical fitness. The participants were 283 7th grade students from a small, rural middle school in Northern California during 2011/12, 2012/13, 2014/15 academic school years. Academic achievement data came from the STAR (Standardized Testing and Reporting) test and CAASPP (California Assessment of Student Learning and Progress) test. Physical fitness data came from the FITNESSGRAM Physical Fitness Test. A MANOVA was performed on the academic achievement and physical fitness data. Using Pillai's Trace, there was not a significant difference between groups (number of fitness tests passed) and language arts and math achievement scores, v = .012, F(4, 560) = .838, p = .502. The results of this study do not confirm a significant positive relationship between academic achievement and physical fitness as demonstrated by prior research. Some variables that may have influenced results in the current study include higher student achievement and higher student Socio-Economic Status compared to statewide levels. The current study examined academic achievement and overall physical fitness, instead of examining certain aspects of physical fitness that have been shown to have the strongest correlation with academic achievement. Furthermore, low physical fitness performance standards, and the cross-sectional nature of the study, may have influenced results. Further research is needed into variables that influence student achievement as well determining amounts of vigorous physical activity and levels of physical fitness needed to produce desirable results.

Book Description
This quantitative study examined academic achievement of seventh grade students from a local school district in Cincinnati, OH. Academic achievement and physical activity are both of importance and beneficial to an individual. Specifically, the purpose of this study was to determine whether students who are participating in school-based physical education (P.E.) courses exhibited higher academic achievements. The sample consisted of 290 seventh grade students for the school year (2015-2016), 312 for the school year (2016-2017), and 339 for the school year (2017-2018). For seventh grade students, archival data was received from the school, which included ethnicity, gender, Grade Point Averages (GPAs), and whether the student participated in P.E. The results were then analyzed using an Independent Samples t-test. According to the findings of this study, students who participated in school-based P.E. courses attained higher academic achievement in two of the three years researched.
