ABSTRACT
Year: 2019-2020
Physical fitness pertains to the ability of your body systems to work together
efficiently to allow you to be healthy and perform activities of daily living. Being efficient
means doing daily activities with the least effort possible (Human Kinetics, n.d.). Hence,
it is needed by many students to be physically active, energized, motivated, and excel in
their academic performances. Being physically active combats many different human
illnesses and virus that disrupts or body systems. In the elementary grades, they are known
as a physically active students due to their activities. However, not all elementary pupils
are always physically fit due to external circumstances. Many of them experiences struggle
in school and at home about their physical fitness that is reflected in their academic
performances.
In line with that this study shows the significance of Physical Fitness Test to the
body-kinesthetics of the Grade 6 pupils from Aurora A. Quezon Elementary School in their
academic performance. The researchers aim to explain and verify the need to be physically
active and doing simple exercises and/or work outs helps the students in their academics,
especially here in the Philippines. A self-structured questionnaire in a likert-scale type is
used to see the attitude of the students in relation to being physically fit to their academic
performance. The researchers used the spreadsheet and tables to compute the population
and percentages of the answers of the respondents.
The results shows that there is a significant relationship about being physically fit
to the academic performance of the Grade 6 pupil of AAQES. Most of the pupils aged 11-
years-old are physically active and does exercise that results them to be in class on time,
feel energized at school, motivated to do schoolwork and they excel in class. The
researchers highlighted the need for the educational institutions to further encourage
students to be physically active and do exercise that can help to stimulate the brain of the
pupils in order to unleash their cognitive, affective, and socio-emotional skills.

LIST OF TABLES
This chapter presents the research design, responded of the study, data gathering
instrument, data gathering procedure and statistical treatment of data.
Research Design
The study will be used descriptive correlation design in order to describe the
significance of physical fitness test to the grade 6 pupils of AAQES. Descriptive research
is defined as a scientific method which involves observing and describing the behavior of
a subject without influencing it in any way.
Research Instrument
The questionnaire was used as the main instrument and will be used in assessing
the “Attitude of the students towards being physically fit to their academic performance”.
The instrument is a Likert scale questionnaire which may help in gaining a good
understanding of current and emerging issues impacting on school heads effective
management of school resources. Our research sources questionnaire will be used to
measure and determine how the students physically fit to their managing the academic
which could be positive or negative.
Research Procedure
The first step that the researchers did was to make a request letter to the approval
of the school administrators before doing the testing proper. When the researcher got the
approval of the school administrators, they will now conduct the testing proper through a
random sampling technique to 100 pupils of AAQES upon the guidance of the principal &
teachers. The researchers prepared a likert-scale type of questionnaire that is easy for the
students to understand the questions, so that they can also answer it properly. They were
given enough time to answer it during their free time to avoid distractions to their classes.
After the respondents answered the questionnaire, the researchers tallied it using
spreadsheet where they can arrange it into charts and tables.
Statistics
The result of the data that was gathered from the students of Aurora A. Quezon
Elementary School was balanced, since there are students who are in favor and those who
are not in favor. There were 100 Grade 6 students who answered the given questionnaire.
To count the results of the respondents, the researchers used spreadsheet, tables and charts.
RESULTS AND DISCUSSIONS
Analysis and interpretation of the gathered data were summarized in the following
tables.

Conclusion
Based on the results and the findings of the researchers, the following conclusion
were drawn:
1. The population consists of different age range from 10 to 14 years old and male and
female Grade 6 pupils from AAQES. The results based on the survey through
random sampling technique shows that there are more 11 years old pupils with 78%
of the population and they are mostly females with 59% of the population.
2. The Physical Fitness Test done by the students left a high impact on their academic
performance. Hence, most of them are physically fit, and they improved their
academics because of having daily exercise by doing the Physical Fitness Test.
3. The research shows that 32% of the 11-year-old students and 26% for female and
19% for male pupils are always doing sports. For being physically active, 32% of
the population from 11-year-old pupils are doing simple exercises at home.
Meanwhile, 27% of the females are always doing simple exercises. Thus, this is
correlated to being motivated to go on in class on time, motivated to do their
schoolwork, and helps them to have a good sleep.
4. The Grade 6 pupils who has a daily workout routine, do sports, and eats on a
balanced diet; resulted to have a good sleep, having energy all throughout the day,
and they excel in class. Hence, there is a significant relationship of being physically
active by doing the Physical Fitness Test and other forms of exercises such as doing
sports, to the academic performance of the students.
Recommendation
1. Based on a study of US Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), physical
activity has an impact on cognitive skills such as concentration and attention, it also
enhances the classroom attitudes and behaviors which are the important
components of improved academic performance. Hence, there should be daily 10
to 20-minute exercise routine with warm-up before the day starts to stimulate the
brain and prepare the bodies of the children in their school activities. Aside from
the activities they do in their PE classes.
2. The researchers highly recommend that there should be a breathing and stretching
exercises before taking-up an exam, it may be written or performance to release the
stress accumulated by the pupil in preparation for the exam. These simple and
breathing and stretching exercises help the students to focus and excel more in class
with the proper guidance of the teachers (Vijayalaxmi and Amitha, 2018). Also,
this also can unleash their other learning skills not only in the cognitive skills, but
also in affective and socio-emotional skills.
3. The teachers, school administrators, and the parents should be an example to their
pupils/children for being physically active and show a healthy lifestyle for their
pupils/children to see and adapt that kind of lifestyle for them to excel also not only
in class, but in their personal endeavors.
4. The Department of Education should promote Physical Education activities more
often and it may included in the Nutrition Month every July annually. This is for
the students to instill the values that they need to exercise if they wanted to be
physically fit, while eating on a balanced diet and stimulate their cognitive skills
through bodily-kinesthetics activities that greatly affects their academic
performance.
