Physical exercise as an educational formula improves the motor and cognitive learning
of students, and allows us to strengthen the motor, coordinative and visual skills of the
students, boys and girls, that will be decisive for their integral development. The general
objective of the study is to examine the relationship of visual, attentional and contextual
variables, together with internalized problems (depression), and externalized problems
(behavior) in primary school students. 76 students participated in the study, of which 53 were
boys (69.73%) and 23 girls (30.27%), with a mean age of 6.68 and a standard deviation of
.799. The students participated in a multisport activity where three protocols were previously
administered: an optometric evaluation, the Caras-R, Identical Forms-R and SENA to
evaluate visual discrimination, sustained attention and contextual factors. The regressive
models of the study predict, firstly, that better visual and attentional discrimination avoids
depressive symptoms in students, and, secondly, that contextual factors act exclusively and
directly in the face of depressive-type symptoms. The importance of the visual task as a
variable directly related to depression and significantly together with attention in the
prediction of adaptive behaviors stands out as a novelty. Thus, good visual discrimination is
an important factor in sports practice and in the prevention of emotional and behavioral
problems.
