Abstract

The aim of the present study was to examine the relationship between cardiorespiratory fitness and foreign language score, among primary and secondary education students in a group of 223 students (111 of primary school and 122 of secondary school) from Baleares region, Spain, aged between 9 and 16 years old that participated in the study. A statistical regression analysis was carried out for the comparison of the two variables (cardiorespiratory fitness and English subject score) in primary and secondary education. Physical fitness was assessed using the 6-minute walk test (6MWT) and the values obtained were shown in VO2max. English subject scores were collected at the end of the year prior to the test. The results obtained did not reveal any correlation between VO2max and final English score in primary school (r=.04, p=.65). However, dataset revealed a positive small correlation between VO2max and final English score in secondary school (r=.26, p=.01). These findings suggest that while physical activity may have some positive effect on final score, the relationship is complex and may be influenced by various other factors. Further research is needed to better understand the relationship between physical activity and learning, as well as the potential moderating factors involved.

心肺健康与外语英语表现的关系

摘要本研究以西班牙巴利亚利斯地区9 ~ 16岁的223名小学生(111名小学生，122名中学生)为研究对象，探讨中学生心肺功能与外语成绩的关系。对中小学教育中心肺适能和英语学科成绩两个变量进行统计回归分析比较。使用6分钟步行测试(6MWT)评估身体健康，获得的值显示在VO2max中。在考试前一年年底收集英语科目成绩。结果显示，VO2max与小学英语期末成绩之间没有相关性(r=)。04, p =主板)。然而，数据集显示VO2max与中学英语成绩之间存在正相关(r=。26日,p = . 01)。这些发现表明，虽然体育锻炼可能对最终得分有一定的积极影响，但这种关系是复杂的，可能受到各种其他因素的影响。需要进一步的研究来更好地理解体育活动和学习之间的关系，以及潜在的调节因素。

期刊介绍： PORTA LINGUARUM is an international and interuniversity journal that specialises in foreign language didactics. Its aims to publish empirical studies, critical revisions, and theoretical models that relate to the many factors that influence the FL teaching and learning: - The social and school context: the family’s social and cultural influence as well as the student’s mother language and its influence on the L2 learning process, etc. - The students: their personal characteristics (age, gender, personality traits, etc.) as well as their attitudes, motivation, cognitive styles, etc. - The FL teacher: the teacher’s mental representations, attitudes, motivation, individual characteristics, teaching methods, etc. - Learning conditions and the learning process, variables that influence the teaching and learning processes in the classroom: efficiency of teaching strategies, teaching methods and techniques, second language acquisition processes, students and teachers interaction, effect of teaching resources and materials, etc. - Learning outcomes: evaluation of procedures as well as the evaluation of the students’ communicative competence at different academic levels, etc.
