Fitness definitely plays a part.
But I think that is true of any job. It may play a small part, but poker is a game of very small edges, so any edge helps.
The more mentally fit you are, the better the decisions you can technically make.

two years ago I weighed 99kg and today with 79kg my life improved a lot, because even to sit for many hours playing poker for me was difficult and very stressful, many times I would give up all in and lose my hands quickly. so from experience I tell you that it is excellent at normal weight to play poker. With a hectic social life, it was not easy to change. "Pretty determination. It is a constant improvement. Physical, mental and technical preparation, three fundamental points in poker that will have a huge influence on the results, "he says.

Poker is mainly a game of the mind. So its good to exercise your mind a lot. You need to build up mental stamina, dissapline, and focus. In reguards to being physical fit, it helps to be confident and comfortable in any thing you do. Some people stress over things, others can let slide. If working out makes you feel more confident, then it will help you to be fit. I think it has a lot to do with your mind set like others have said. I think having the right plan and strategy along with being prepared helps you in poker as well as knowing the players at your table.

In the old days, poker was played while drinking beer with a shotgun nearby.
Science believes (claims to have proof) that our mind works better when we regularly perform some physical activity.
Assuming that one needs a good working mind, stable, focussed, to play poker, I can recommend washing my car, I won't charge you.
