Background: Aggressive behaviors have increased in a worrying way all over the world,
and this has been one more reason to be able to investigate what happens in schools. Its presence
has been increasing in recent decades and, therefore, this issue has been approached from different
points of view of society. The aim of this study was to analyze and establish the indices of aggressive
behaviors and their possible association with gender, academic achievement, and the Physical
Activity (PA) in schoolchildren aged 10–12 in Granada (Spain). Methods: Its design is descriptive
and cross-sectional, the sample is 320 students, an ad-hoc questionnaire was used to establish
socio-demographic variables, violent behavior (measured with the scale of violent behaviors), gender,
academic performance, and PA. Results: The results showed that schoolchildren with higher levels of
violent behaviors have been in the reactive and relational reactive manifest dimension, males are
more assiduous to practice PA than females, and these were characterized by greater manifest and
relational aggressiveness. However, they present higher average values in violent behaviors than
they do if academic performance is taken into account. Conclusions: The main recommendation is
the need to study, in greater depth, the active sports population in order to try to know the cause of
these results.
