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 Altenburg, Chinapaw & Singh (2016), two 20-min bouts of MVPA led to significantly better Sky Search scores than one bout or remaining seated. → Ruhland Stefanie 2021

q3 · i? · review · r3
Randomized controlled trial within the review (Altenburg et al., 2016; n = 56, ages 10–13, Netherlands); "Two 20-min bouts of MVPA led to significantly better Sky Search scores compared to children who performed one physical activity bout or remained seated (B = −0.26; 95% CI = [-0.52; −0.00])". B is an unstandardised coefficient; no standardised effect size printed.
"Two 20-min bouts of MVPA led to significantly better Sky Search scores compared to children who performed one physical activity bout or remained seated (B = −0.26; 95% CI = [-0.52; −0.00])."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Duration and intensity of PA bouts may moderate attention effects, consistent with an inverted-U hypothesis — related
- Acute physical activity has a positive effect on attention in preadolescent children (g = 0.43) — a broader claim this one bears on
- Evidence for effects of acute bouts of physical activity on children's attention is weak and inconclusive — related
- Classroom-based physical activity interventions improve attention and/or on-task behavior in most reviewed studies of schoolchildren aged 4–18 — a broader claim this one bears on
- Mediated structured play yields relatively robust evidence of efficacy, varying by interventionist, target and measured outcome — related
