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.

q3 i2 Subgroup analysis shows high-intensity physical activity is strongly correlated with mathematics achievement (SMD = 0.41, 95% CI: 0.14–0.68, p = 0.003; I² = 6%). → He Hongxue 2025

Subgroup analysis by intervention intensity for mathematics outcomes. The review reports "SMD = 0.41, 95% CI: 0.14–0.68, p = 0.003" with low heterogeneity (I² = 6%), based on three studies.

"Mathematics achievement was positively correlated with moderate intensity physical activity (SMD = 0.08, 95% CI: 0.01–0.15, p = 0.040; I2 = 37%) and strongly correlated with high-intensity physical activity (SMD = 0.41, 95% CI: 0.14–0.68, p = 0.003; I2 = 6%)."
