The study about physical activity (PA) in adolescents has attracted interest from researchers, who consider it as an important indicator of quality of life, predicting how the adult population profile will be in the near future. In addition to the benefits it brings to physical health, studies have shown that physical activity promotes improvements in the emotional, social and cognitive domains of students. However, recent research has not presented with such consistency the association between physical activity, school achievement and behavior problems, or even the confirmation of significant results. The objective of this study was to verify the association between the physical activity level (PAL), behavioral problems and academic achievement of adolescents in the municipalities of São Paulo (SP), Botucatu (SP) and Cáceres (MT). In addition, we sought to verify the prediction of socio-demographic variables, physical education and sports participation and physical activity level on behavior problems and academic achievement in adolescents. The research was developed with 1088 adolescents aged 14 to 18 years of high school in state schools. Descriptive statistics and logistic regression analysis (Odds Ratio- OR) were performed to verify possible associations between predictor variables and academic achievement and total problems (TPR), internalizing (IPR) and externalizing (EPR) problems. For the descriptive results, 52% of adolescents presented a high PAL, 33% presented B2 socioeconomic stratum, 48% used the walk to school, 32% had the education level of the head of the family as full secondary level / incomplete higher education, 34% presented satisfactory perception of cardiorespiratory fitness, 59% did not practice sports outside school hours, 76% participated in physical education classes, 30% presented behavioral problems, and 70% had greater academic achievement than grades 4. Female gender was a good predictor of school performance. For behavioral problems, female presented greater chance to IPR (OR=1,4), participation in physical education (OR=0,6) and satisfactory (OR=0,6), good (OR=0,4) and very good (OR=0,3) perceptions of cardiorespiratory fitness were predictor factors for IPR. Physical activity level was not a predictor of behavioral problems and academic performance in our sample as a whole.
