Regular physical activity in children leads to the development of physical fitness, an important factor for better quality of life in childhood, as well as growth. The aim of this study was to investigate and evaluate physical fitness in children aged 7 to 9 years in a municipal school in the city of Anápolis-GO. The research was attended by 15 children. Weight, height, BMI, wingspan, heel, throwing, waist, subscapularis, triceps and calf were measured. The results showed that boys generally outperformed girls compared to girls, in tests such as jumping, throwing and also BMI. In the other parameters no results were found in disagreement when compared to the reference. It is concluded that from genetic, metabolic as well as food factors can influence motor performance significantly. Thus, the practice of daily physical activities can lead to the development of physical fitness early in childhood, being considered an improvement factor for health and quality of life, from childhood to adulthood.
