【 摘 要 】

This paper focuses on the Relative Age Effect (RAE) over the basic physical abilities of Compulsory Secondary School (ESO) students after a descriptive, cross-sectional, correlation study in context by incidental sampling in a Compulsory Secondary Education school. The tools applied were physical tests and a questionnaire. The results reveal that there are no significant differences (p>0,05) between the mean results in the physical tests taken by students born in the first and the second semesters. The highest marks belong to the students born in the early months of the year. This tendency is altered by sex, school year and after school physical activity. Students born towards the beginning of the year attained better school marks in PE. As a conclusion we can argue that the RAE is one more factor within the education process, it is present in basic physical abilities and must be taken into account in order to prevent unfavourable situations for students.
