Résumé
L’objectif de cette étude de deux ans était d’évaluer l’impact de l’éducation physique quotidienne sur le rendement académique et sur la condition physique des élèves de deux écoles primaires du Nouveau-Brunswick. Comparativement à l’année précédente l’implantation du projet, la proportion d’élèves obtenant un niveau satisfaisant en français est demeurée pratiquement inchangée. En mathématiques, les scores ont légèrement diminués après une année, mais se sont ensuite réajustés pour revenir à un niveau semblable à celui précédent la mise en place du projet. En général, les filles et les garçons ont maintenu les améliorations de condition physique perçue après la première année d’implantation. De plus, la proportion d’élèves ayant atteint les recommandations pour une meilleure santé s’est améliorée dans chacun des tests de condition physique utilisés. Même en consacrant moins de temps aux matières académiques, les participants ne démontrent pas de modification de rendement académique. Ceci suggère donc un meilleur apprentissage par unité de temps d’enseignement.

Abstract
The objective of this two-year study was to assess the impact of daily physical education on academic achievement and physical fitness of students from two New Brunswick primary schools. Compared to the previous year of project implementation, the proportion of students achieving a satisfactory level in French was virtually unchanged. In mathematics, the scores have diminished after one year, but subsequently readjusted to return to a similar level as the previous year of project implementation. In general, the girls and boys from the participating schools have maintained the improvements in physical fitness after the first year of implementation. Moreover, the proportion of students achieving the recommendations for better health has improved in each of the fitness tests. Even by spending less time in academic courses, participants do not show any change in their academic performance. This suggests improved learning per unit of teaching time.
