Subclaims¶

q3 i? In Szabo-Reed et al. (2017), the intervention group spent significantly more time on task following PA than the control group, and percent of time in MVPA was significantly associated with percent of time on task (p < 0.01). → Ruhland Stefanie 2021

q3 · i? · associational · r1

Longitudinal observational analysis within the review (Szabo-Reed et al., 2017; n = 633, mean age 7.6 years, two 10-min PA lessons/day, 5 days/week for 3 years); "The percent of time spent in MVPA was significantly associated with the percent of time on task (p < 0.01)". Only a p-value printed; no effect size.

"The percent of time spent in MVPA was significantly associated with the percent of time on task (p < 0.01)"

Discussion¶

Related Claims¶

• CB-PA interventions show no significant improvement in attention or on-task behavior in two of the twenty reviewed studies — reports the opposite
• In two reviewed studies, CB-PA improvements in attention measures were moderated by other variables such as cognitive engagement and timing — 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
• In the highest-quality reviewed study, classroom MVPA was negatively associated with students being off task or inattentive (β = −0.17; p = 0.042) — related
