摘要：
The aim of this work is to study the relationship between health related physical fitness and residence context in samples of school children. A total of 293 students took part in the study (137 boys and 156 girls). After receiving the informed consent, we assessed health related physical fitness through an abbreviated version of the Eurofit Battery test that included BMI, horizontal jump, Sit and Reach test (flexibility), hand grip strength, and 20 metre shuttle run. To establish the relationship between the different variables, we conducted a statistical analysis using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test and one t test for independent samples. In this study school children living in rural areas are fitter in comparison with the ones living in urban areas.
