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 i? In Carlson et al. (2015), the amount of MVPA was negatively associated with off-task or inattentive classroom behavior (β = −0.17; p = 0.042). → Ruhland Stefanie 2021

q3 · i? · review · r3
Observational study within the review (Carlson et al., 2015; n = 1322, mean age 8.8 years, Instant Recess TAKE 10! & CATCH, 10-min blocks each school day for 1 school year); "MVPA level was negatively associated with students being off task or inattentive in the classroom (β = −0.17; p = 0.042)". β is an unstandardised printed coefficient; no standardised effect size printed.
"MVPA level was negatively associated with students being off task or inattentive in the classroom (β = −0.17; p = 0.042)"
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Over a three-year CB-PA intervention, the percent of time spent in MVPA was significantly associated with the percent of time on task (p < 0.01) — related
- Classroom physical activity increases children's on-task behaviour, with no consistent gain on attention or other cognitive tests — a broader claim this one bears on
