Abstract

The National Assessment of Basic Competencies (NABC) measures the literacy and mathematics skills & performance of students attending 6th, 8th and 10th grade once a year. The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the results of the National Assessment of Basic Competencies (NABC) linked to sport activities. The Authors describe the frequency of regular sporting habits outside school and at school by age groups, gender, an type of school. Highlights: (1) Among both sexes, it can be stated that the 6th grade athlete ratio in the subsequent grades shows a downward trend of about 10-10%. (2) From the point of view of the types of schools, the proportion of regular sports students is by far the most favorable among students attending grammar school. (3) The advantage of athletes is the most consistent in the girls’ mathematical scores: with one exception, athletes in all grades and in all types of schools outperform the athletes. (4) Athletic girls at primary schools and six-year high school students athletes outperformed non-athletic girls in both mathematics and literacy competency scores.
