Subclaims¶

q3 i? Age did not moderate the effect of resistance training on academic outcomes (R2 = 0.01), and acute versus chronic study design did not have a moderating effect. → Robinson Katie 2023

Evidence¶

Robinson Katie 2023¶

Robinson Katie, Riley Nicholas, Owen Katherine, Drew Ryan, Mavilidi Myrto F., Hillman Charles H., Faigenbaum Avery D., Garcia-Hermoso Antonio, Lubans David Revalds. (2023). Effects of Resistance Training on Academic Outcomes in School-Aged Youth: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. Sports Medicine. https://doi.org/10.1007/s40279-023-01881-6

q3 · i? · quant-synthesis · r3

Moderator analyses within the primary meta-analysis: children (5–9 y, k = 1) showed SMD −0.01 and adolescents (10–18 y, k = 9) SMD 0.19; acute (SMD 0.16) and chronic (SMD 0.22) designs produced similar effects. No effect sizes for the moderation itself are printed, so impact is null.

"Age did not moderate the effect of resistance training on academic outcomes (R2 = 0.01)."

• Age moderates exercise effects in opposite directions: adolescents benefit more for inhibitory control, younger children more for working memory — related
• Reported benefits of physical activity programs on executive functions depend on program duration and the executive domain analyzed — related
• Including behavior change techniques in acute physical activity interventions is the only moderator associated with larger academic effects (g = 0.54 vs 0.23) — related
