摘要：High body fat (BF) and low cardiovascular fitness (CF) are risk factors to no-degenerative chronic disease. The objective of this study was to check the BF and CF prevalence in 118 boys and 151 girls (10-11 years old), and to analyze these in relation to criterion-referenced (CR). The BF and CF were measured and analyzed according to AAHPERD´s protocol (1988). Through descriptive statistics and chi-square, was found that 70.6% of the sample has a low AC, being higher (p < 0.05) in boys (86.4%) than girls (58, 3%). The ideal BF was prevalent (66.9%), however 24.2% and 8.9% of sample (p < 0.05) showed levels above and below the ideal values, respectively. The frequency (20.4%) of students who serve concurrently of CR on health is less than those who did not attend (24.2%). Therefore, a significant proportion of students are exposed to developing no-degenerative chronic disease related to the low AC and inadequate values of GC. Key Words: Physical Fitness. Adiposity. Chronic Disease.
