Subclaims¶
Reading the evidence codes
q is the design tier, i the impact, n the sample, and the kind with its r
the rigour judged within that kind: what each code means.
This claim: no standardized effect is recorded in observations/ for it yet, so no benchmark reading is possible.
q2 i0 One study found no differences in adiposity between ALC and traditional classrooms; pain findings were mixed but not clearly negative. → Sánchez-López M 2025

q2 · i? · review · r3
Review synthesis noting a single study of anthropometric outcomes; the review attributes the null finding partly to the short nine-week intervention duration and states no solid conclusions are possible.
"Anthropometric and adiposity variables were examined in one study where no differences were found between students in traditional and ALCs [19]."
