What is it about?
This study identified clusters of adolescents who share similar cardiorespiratory fitness levels and analysed the relationships between cardiorespiratory fitness, inhibition, and math fluency in each of the clusters. The effect of inhibition on math fluency was positive and significant in all three cardiorespiratory fitness levels. Cardiorespiratory fitness had a direct, positive, and significant effect on math fluency only in the high-fitness cluster. Therefore, a high level of cardiorespiratory fitness is a significant determining factor in the explanation of math fluency. The results indicate that inhibition does not mediate the relationship between cardiorespiratory fitness and math fluency.

Why is it important?
The benefits of cardiorespiratory fitness affect math fluency, which has important implications for the educational environment and the teaching/learning process.
Perspectives
Our results suggest the importance of promoting the practice of physical sports activity to increase adolescents’ cardiorespiratory fitness. The inclusion of physically active classes could be a good resource for improving cardiorespiratory fitness and achieving better academic performance.
