The heart breathing condition, the speed performance , the explosive force, flexibility, the Body composition and the Body mass index can be directly related to the daily habits and level of  physical activities done daily, as well as the adopted alimentary standard. This study had as main objective to compare the qualities of physical aptitude as well as the Body composition and the Body mass index of children from 9 to 10 years old of different social classes, public schools of low income and private schools (n=103)  A decriptive statistics was applied as standard average and deflection, the difference among the groups and was identified with the "t" test for students with independent measures. In the 9 minutes race, flexibility and power test the pupils of public schools had had better performance, but in the speed and located abdominal resistance, the particular schools pupils had taken advantage, however in the arm bending test the private school girls had taken advantage on the public school ones, occurring the opposite with the boys.  In the analyzes of the Body mass index is notable that the overweight index is significant in the particular schools and of low weight in the public schools. The evaluation of the Body composition confirms this data for the girls and shows that the fat percentage of the private school boys although being bigger than the public schools average are found more individuals out of the standard of normality in such a way for more as for less.It is noticed that a difference of qualities of physical aptitude occurs that must be generated by the different rhythm of life and alimentary standard adopted by the pupils of different social classes, however there was no meaningful difference.
