abstract = {The objective of this study was to analyze the relationships between simple and complex
reaction times (RTs) with the physical activity performed weekly, the physical fitness
and selective attention in children of the third cycle of primary education. Participants
were 119 children aged between 10 and 12 years (M = 10.71; SD = 0.77). The
instruments used for data collection were the D2 attention test to analyze selective
attention, various tests of the Eurofit and ALPHA-Fitness Battery to evaluate the physical
condition, a bioimpedanciometer Tanita TBF 300 to evaluate the body composition,
and the FITLIGHT Trainer to measure the simple and complex RTs. The group that
carried out more weekly physical activity used less time in simple (p < 0.05, d = -0.68,
95% CI [-1.19, -0.17]) and complex RT tests (p < 0.05, d = -0.63, 95% CI [-1.14,
-0.12]). Also, the results showed that the simple RT was related in a significant way with
physical fitness, while the complex RT was related significantly to attentional capacity
and physical fitness},
