A total of 206 primary school children (106 before confinements and 100 after restrictions) completed a test battery evaluating their anthropometric characteristics, body compositions, activity preferences, cognitive performances and physical fitness. The performance of the Standing Long Jump was better at T0 (169.9 ± 142.5 cm) compared to T1 (135.2 ± 31.4 cm) (<i>p</i> = 0.0367), and the Medicine Ball Throw performance declined from T0 to T1 (297.3 ± 81.1 cm vs. 249 ± 52 cm; <i>p</i> < 0.0001). Motor skills (26.9 ± 6.2 s vs. 30.9 ± 5.4 s; <i>p</i> < 0.0001), the shuttle-run test (stages completed), Maximal Aerobic Speed, and the estimated VO<sub>2max</sub> were lower at T1 compared to T0 (<i>p</i> < 0.0001). Executive functioning was found to be greater at T0 compared to T1 (<i>p</i> < 0.0001). Explicit liking or wanting for sedentary or physical activities did not change between T0 and T1.
