The finding of this study showed, there were significance different between cardiorespiratory endurance and socioeconomic status of the children was 0.044 less than alpha value 0.05 (F=3.210; p=0.044 < 0.05). Besides that, the significant value of physical activity, leisure time and activity at school were (F=0.855; p=0.428> 0.05), (F=2.789; p=0.066> 0.05), and (F=11.036; p=0.000< 0.05). Moreover, for body composition and fat percentage, was no significant differences between socioeconomic statuses of family in body mass index (F=1.580; p=0.210> 0.05), and skinfold thickness of male (F=1.910; p=0.156> 0.05), and female (F=0.558; p=0.576> 0.05).
