Abstract

Background: The first stage of school could serve to teach healthy habits at the level of food and physical activity. Objective: To determine the differences in physical fitness based on the degree of adherence to the mediterranean diet. Methods: 97 schoolchildren between 3 and 6 years old were selected to whom the physical fitness was evaluated throught the FITness battery in PREschool (PREFIT); and their leve lof adherence to the mediterranean diet was determined by means of the KIDMED questionnaire. Results: The subjects cases mean values and high adherence to DM, there are no cases of low adherence. There are few differences, although the group of adhesion means has better values in long jump, balance and speed. Conclusion: In the first infant period there are still few differences between subjects with medium and high adherence to DM. It is necessary to continue to deepen the influence of health-related factors in children's populations in order to propose proposals for improvement in the future.
