In the school educational process, through the realization of this subject contributes to develop cognitive, psychomotor, socio-affective and moral knowledge. On the other hand, encouraging involvement and responsibility in the classroom by the students in physical education classes, is the first step to ensure that the student is motivated and improves their respective learning during the school stage. (Juan Antonio Moreno, Parra, & Gonzalez, 2008). That is why, the main objective of this work is to analyze the relationship between the involvement of compulsory secondary school students in physicaleducation classes, with the academic performance they obtain.
