The sample was constituted by 125 students, of which 68 % corresponds to males and 32% to ladies. There was in use the test of Tolulouse-Piéron's attention, using the first two minutes to evaluate the selective attention and his total execution (ten minutes) to evaluate the supported attention. The results show an average of the Global Index of Attention and Perception (GIAP) of 38,3±12,5 in two minutes and of 185,4±55,4 in ten minutes. The analyses do not show differences for sex or age in any of two evaluated attentions. The selective attention presents an GIAP of 31,5 for the percentile 25, of 39 for the percentile 50 and of 46 for the percentile 75. For your part, the supported attention presents an GIAP of 158 for the percentile 25, of 190 for the percentile 50 and of 217 for the percentile 75. More investigations are necessary with samples of diverse schools of physical education of the country.
