El propósito de este trabajo fue analizar los efectos de un pro-grama de actividad física, con una duración de 8 semanas y basado en jue-gos reducidos, sobre diversas variables cognitivas vinculadas al constructo funciones ejecutivas como memoria de trabajo, inhibición y flexibilidad cognitiva. Los participantes fueron 54 adolescentes, físicamente inactivos, de la ciudad de Priego (Córdoba, España), con edades entre los 15 y 16 años (M= 15.35; DT= .48). Se empleó un diseño pre-post con dos grupos aleatorizados, control y experimental. Los instrumentos utilizados para eva-luar las habilidades cognitivas fueron el test Dígitos y el test Letras y Núme-ros, de la Escala de Inteligencia de Wechsler para Niños (WISC-IV), el Trail Making Test y el Test Stroop. Se realizó un análisis de la varianza mixta 2x2 para determinar los efectos del tratamiento. Los resultados indicaron efec-tos positivos del programa de actividad física sobre la memoria de trabajo y la flexibilidad cognitiva, aunque con un tamaño del efecto bajo. Se propone incrementar el tiempo de intervención y aplicar diferentes programas para observar el impacto del tipo de actividad en futuras investigaciones
