Resumo: Sports practice is essential for young people to perform better in the various pillars of their lives. Considering the maturational stage, this study aimed to investigate the effects of practicing sports on cognitive aspects (inhibitory control) and academic performance (report card).Seventy-five young people aged between 10 and 14 of both sexes were analyzed and divided into two groups: group I (Non-sporty), involved only in school physical education, and group II (Sporty), involved in sports initiation in addition to school physical education. Inhibitory control was assessed using the Go/No Go test and the 5-digit test (FDT). Maturation was determined using the bone age equation, and academic performance was assessed on the basis of school report card grades. There were no significant correlations between bone age, performance on cognitive tests and academic performance based on report card grades (p ≥ 0.05). However, the cognitive tests revealed a significant disparity between the two groups. The sportsmen had significantly fewer errors in all phases of the FDT test (p < 0.05) than their non-sporting peers. In addition, the sports group showed superior inhibitory control, as evidenced by better performance in the Go/No Go test [7.58 ± 0.14; p = 0.001]. It is concluded that regardless of the correlation between maturational development, cognitive aspects and academic performance, systematized sports practice has a beneficial effect on the cognitive abilities of young people, since sports players showed better cognitive performance than non-sports players.

Considerando la etapa madurativa, el objetivo de este estudio fue investigar los efectos de la práctica deportiva sobre aspectos cognitivos (control inhibitorio) y el rendimiento académico (boletín de notas). Se analizaron setenta y cinco jóvenes de entre 10 y 14 años de ambos sexos, divididos en dos grupos: grupo I (No deportistas), implicados sólo en la educación física escolar, y grupo II (Deportistas), implicados en la iniciación deportiva además de la educación física escolar. El control inhibitorio se evaluó mediante el test Go/No Go y el test de los 5 dígitos (FDT). La maduración se determinó mediante la ecuación de la edad ósea, y el rendimiento académico se evaluó a partir de las notas del boletín escolar. No hubo correlaciones significativas entre la edad ósea, el rendimiento en las pruebas cognitivas y el rendimiento académico basado en las notas del boletín de notas (p ≥ 0,05). Sin embargo, las pruebas cognitivas revelaron una disparidad significativa entre los dos grupos. Los deportistas tuvieron significativamente menos errores en todas las fases de la prueba FDT (p < 0,05) que sus compañeros no deportistas. Además, el grupo de deportistas mostró un control inhibitorio superior, como lo demuestra el mejor rendimiento en la prueba Go/No Go [7,58 ± 0,14; p = 0,001]. Se concluye que, independientemente de la correlación entre el desarrollo madurativo, los aspectos cognitivos y el rendimiento académico, la práctica deportiva sistematizada tiene un efecto beneficioso sobre las capacidades cognitivas de los jóvenes, ya que los deportistas mostraron un mejor rendimiento cognitivo que los no deportistas.A prática esportiva é essencial para que os jovens tenham um melhor desempenho nos diversos pilares de suas vidas. Considerando o estágio maturacional, este estudo teve como objetivo investigar os efeitos da prática desportiva nos aspectos cognitivos (controlo inibitório) e no desempenho académico (boletim escolar). Foram analisados setenta e cinco jovens com idade entre 10 e 14 anos, de ambos os sexos, divididos em dois grupos: grupo I (Não esportivo), envolvido apenas na educação física escolar, e grupo II (Esportivo), envolvido na iniciação esportiva além da educação física escolar. O controle inibitório foi avaliado com o teste Go/No Go e o teste de 5 dígitos (FDT). A maturação foi determinada usando a equação da idade óssea e o desempenho acadêmico foi avaliado com base nas notas do boletim escolar. Não houve correlações significativas entre a idade óssea, o desempenho nos testes cognitivos e o desempenho acadêmico com base nas notas do boletim escolar (p ≥ 0,05). Entretanto, os testes cognitivos revelaram uma disparidade significativa entre os dois grupos. Os esportistas apresentaram significativamente menos erros em todas as fases do teste FDT (p < 0,05) do que seus colegas não esportistas. Além disso, o grupo esportivo apresentou controle inibitório superior, conforme evidenciado pelo melhor desempenho no teste Go/No Go [7,58 ± 0,14; p = 0,001]. Conclui-se que independente da correlação entre desenvolvimento maturacional, aspectos cognitivos e desempenho acadêmico, a prática esportiva sistematizada tem relação benéfica sobre habilidades cognitivas de juvenis, visto que os esportistas apresentaram melhor desempenho cognitivo frente aos não esportistas.Research, Society and Development2024-02-19info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/article/view/4469710.33448/rsd-v13i2.44697Research, Society and Development; Vol. 13 No. 2; e8213244697Research, Society and Development; Vol. 13 Núm. 2; e8213244697Research, Society and Development; v. 13 n. 2; e82132446972525-3409reponame:Research, Society and Developmentinstname:Universidade Federal de Itajubá (UNIFEI)instacron:UNIFEIenghttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/article/view/44697/35965Copyright (c) 2024 Nathália Monastirski Ribeiro Campos; Mateus Freitas de Medeiros; Paulo Francisco de Almeida Neto; Izabel Augusta Hazin Pires; Felipe José Aidar; Paulo Moreira Silva Dantas; Breno Guilherme de Araújo Tinôco Cabralhttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessCampos, Nathália Monastirski Ribeiro Medeiros, Mateus Freitas de Almeida Neto, Paulo Francisco de Pires, Izabel Augusta Hazin Aidar, Felipe JoséDantas, Paulo Moreira Silva Cabral, Breno Guilherme de Araújo Tinôco 2024-03-04T09:47:20Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/44697Revistahttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/indexPUBhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/oairsd.articles@gmail.com2525-34092525-3409opendoar:2024-03-04T09:47:20Research, Society and Development - Universidade Federal de Itajubá (UNIFEI)false
