A study was conducted to examine the relationship between body composition, physical activity, and physical fitness among Senegalese children 8.5-13.5 years of age. Anthropometric dimensions were collected in 140 children. Age and gender had a major effect on body composition and physical fitness. Results suggested that physical activity in these children is not an important indicator of cardiorespiratory fitness and motor fitness.
