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 · i? · review · r3
Review's discussion of Budde et al. (2008), a school experiment with 115 adolescents (13–16 yrs) using heart-rate monitoring; significant improvement after coordinative exercises (p < 0.01) on the D2 test.
"Budde et al. (2008) compared a PA bout consisting of coordinative exercises to a normal PE lesson of the same intensity level and found a significant difference between the two PA bouts in favour of the coordinative exercise condition."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Evidence for effects of acute bouts of physical activity on children's attention is weak and inconclusive — related
- School-setting studies show no overall significant difference between active and classroom lessons, but subgroup effects emerge — a broader claim this one bears on
- Duration and intensity of PA bouts may moderate attention effects, consistent with an inverted-U hypothesis — related
- Age may moderate acute PA effects on attention: effects appeared for 9–10 year olds but not 7–8 year olds — related
- Five of six laboratory studies found significant effects of acute PA on cognitive control of attention, mainly on accuracy not reaction time — related
- Exercise intensity differentially moderates acute exercise cognitive benefits, with moderate intensity favoring executive functions and high intensity favoring information processing — related
- Physical activities combining exercise with character development or mindfulness improved children's EFs more than exercise alone: tae kwon do outperformed standard PE, and a yoga pilot improved planning — related
- Self-chosen exercise intensity produced the greatest mood benefits in a small study, suggesting enjoyable workouts may best improve mood — related
- Acute physical activity has a positive effect on attention in preadolescent children (g = 0.43) — related
