Associations between physical fitness and academic achievement among Chinese school-aged children: the role of sociodemographic moderators

The current state of evidence concerning the associations between physical fitness (PF) and academic achievement (AA) among children is mixed, suggesting that specific moderators may influence those relationships. Thus, this study aimed to examine (i) the associations between PF and AA among Chinese school-aged children and (ii) whether sex, grade, and parental education moderated those associations.
