Summary Because of previous studies showing the influence of childhood and adolescence on later life stages on physical activity participation habits (Pate, Dowda, Baranowski and Puhl, 1993) and the relationship between physical capacity level, target orientations and level of engagement in physical activities (Goudas, Biddle and Fox, 1994; Tzetis, Goudas, Kourtesis and Zisi, 2002; Vlachopoulos and Biddle, 1996), this work describes a study that has been carried out with students of 4° primary education in physical education. The aim of this work is to determine the existence of relationships between target orientations, physical conditional variables (physical capacity level) and levels of physical and motor engagement in physical education classes, measured by means of the TEOSQ questionnaire, 20 m Shuttle-Run test and UPG (Global Positioning Unit). The results show that there are no meaningful links between target orientation and kinematic and physiological variables, considering all subjects as a whole. In carrying out the gender analysis, significant relationships were found in the women subgroup between the score achieved in the task orientation factor and some kinematic and physiological parameters. Abstract Several previous studies suggested out to the influence of the experience engaged during childhood and Adolescence on further vital stages, regarding the habits of taking part in physical activities, as well as as therelation between physical capacity level, goal orientations and commitment level in physical activities. Therefore, in this paper we describe a study carried out with 4th-grade students in Primary Education in the Physical Education class. This study aims to determine the relations between goal orientations, physical conditional variables (physical capacity level) and physical-motor commitment level during Physical Education biases. These factors were measured by using the TEOSQ questionnaire, the 20 m Shuttle-Run Endurance test and the Global Positioning Unit (GPU). The results found shedding no significant relations between goal orientation and kinematic and Physiological variables, when participants were considered as a whole. However, in a gender based analysis, we found significant relations in the subgroup women between the points scored in the task orientation factor and some kinematic and Physiological parameters.
