Abstract
We examined the effects of physical activity on social skill and cognitive appraisal of stressors in school-aged children. Participants (873 pupils in Grades 4 through 6; 434 boys and 439 girls) completed the Assessment Scale of Physical Activity for Children (Uechi et al., 2000), the Social Skills Scale for Children (Shimada, 1998) and the Cognitive Appraisal Scale for Children (Shimada, 1998). Multiple regression analyses indicated that social skill improved due to physical activity with friends and family. Physical activity had a positive effect on cognitive appraisal of stressors in both boys and girls. It is concluded that engaging in physical activities with friends and family may moderate negative effects of stress by improving social skill of children.
