Ítem Can the Components of Physical Fitness Be Linked to Creative Thinking and Fluid Intelligence in Spanish Schoolchildren?(MDPI, 2025-07-10) Andrade-Lara, Karina Elizabeth; Latorre-Román, Pedro Ángel; Atero, Eva; Cabrera-Linares, José Carlos; Párraga, Juan AntonioObjective: The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between the components of physical fitness (PF), creativity and fluid intelligence, as well as to determine which components of PF are predictors of the analysed cognitive potential. Material and Methods: A total of 584 Spanish schoolchildren (6−11 years old; age = 8.62 ± 1.77 years) took part in this study. Creativity was assessed using the Torrance Tests of Creative Thinking (TTCT) and fluid intelligence through TEA-1. Moreover, PF components were evaluated using a 25 m sprint, handgrip strength, standing long jump and 20 m SRT. Results: Boys exhibited a better PF performance than girls (p range from = < 0.001 to 0.05), as well as higher creativity score (p < 0.001), the fluid intelligence score and QI score (p < 0.05, respectively). Moreover, PF components (CRF, strength and speed) were positively associated with creativity (p range from = < 0.001 to 0.001) and fluid intelligence (p range from = < 0.001 to 0.015). Regression analysis showed that the creativity model explained between 31.4% and 36.6% of the variance (R2 = 0.314−0.366, p < 0.001), while the fluid intelligence model accounted for 25.5% to 33.1% of the variance (R2 = 0.255−0.331, p < 0.001 to 0.001). Conclusions: A positive relationship was found between creativity, fluid intelligence, and PF components. Children with higher PF levels scored better in creativity, with notable differences between boys and girls. These findings highlight the educational value of incorporating structured physical activity into school settings to support both cognitive and physical development.Ítem Validation fo an Eye-Foot coordination Assessment Tool for Children in Dual - Task Condition(MDPI, 2024-12-31) Andrade-Lara, Karina Elizabeth; Serrano-Huete, Victor; Atero, Eva; Párraga, Juan Antonio; Herrador-Sánchez, Julio; Moreno-Marín, Asensio; Martínez-Redondo, Melchor; Manjón, Daniel; Salas-Sánchez, Jesús; Lucena-Zurita, Manuel; Cabrera-Linares, José Carlos; Latorre-Román, Pedro ÁngelEye–foot coordination is essential in sports and daily life, enabling the synchronization of vision and movement for tasks like ball control or crossing obstacles. This study aimed to examine both the validity and reliability of an innovative eye–foot coordination (EFC) test in a dual-task paradigm in children aged 6–11 years and the capacity of this test to discriminate between sex and age. Methods: A total of 440 schoolchildren aged 6–11 years participated in this cross-sectional study. A ball control test, involving kicking and catching, was used to assess EFC. The assessment included three conditions: without interference (WI), with auditory interference (AI), and with visual interference (VI). Results: The ICCs per the EFC test scores were 0.975 for foot successes (95% CI = 0.961–0.983; p < 0.001) and 0.747 for foot mistakes (95% CI = 0.611–0.835; p < 0.001). The SEM for the standing successes was 3.082 (10.81%), and the MDC was 4.860 (17.05%). For the standing mistakes, the SEM was 1.551 (19.33%) and the MDC was 3.452 (43.04%). Moreover, boys had a significantly higher number of successes in the WI, AI, and VI conditions (p < 0.001, respectively) than girls, although girls had more mistakes than boys only in the VI condition (p = 0.025). Conclusions: The EFC test showed adequate reliability and validity. Also, the EFC test showed that performance worsened with interference regardless of sex and age, especially in girls in the VI condition.Ítem Validation of an Eye–Foot Coordination Assessment Tool for Children in Dual-Task Condition(MDPI, 2025) Andrade-Lara, Karina Elizabeth; Serrano-Huete, Víctor; Atero, Eva; Párraga, Juan Antonio; Herrador-Sánchez, Julio; Moreno-Marín, Asensio; Martínez-Redondo, Melchor; Manjón, Daniel; Salas-Sánchez, Jesús; Lucena-Zurita, Manuel; Cabrera-Linares, José Carlos; Latorre-Román, Pedro ÁngelBackground/Objectives: Eye–foot coordination is essential in sports and daily life, enabling the synchronization of vision and movement for tasks like ball control or crossing obstacles.
