Synthesis of 12 cognitively injected physical activity studies (average sample 80.17; dosage M = 24.90 h). The review reports significance in "83.33% (n = 10)" of studies and 14 of 20 effects (70.0%) significant; six studies met high-efficacy criteria across diverse activities from dance to structured motor skill programs.

"Overall, statistical significance was reported for at least one outcome in 83.33% (n = 10) of the studies. In total, 20 effects were evaluated, of which 14 (70.0%) were significant."

• Cognitive challenge, incrementally increased as children gain competence, was a feature of all the most efficacious interventions — related
• Mindfulness interventions show comparatively robust efficacy for preschool SR/EF, especially for outcomes requiring integrated mobilisation of EFs and SR — related
• Most preschool SR/EF interventions report at least one significant outcome, but only about half of evaluated effects are significant — a broader claim this one bears on
