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.
q2 i? In a cross-sectional study of 54 male high-school students, higher VO2max was associated with faster reaction time for stimuli following invalid cue (Estimate = -2.69, SE = 1.03, p = 0.011). → Wengaard E 2017

q2 · i? · associational · r2
Linear mixed model analysis of reaction times from 54 male high-school students performing a Posner cue paradigm task, adjusted for video-game playing, testing time-point and alertness. The analysis found "Higher ˙VO2max was associated with faster RT for stimuli following invalid cue (Estimate =−2.69, SE = 1.03, p = 0.011)".
"Higher ˙VO2max was associated with faster RT for stimuli following invalid cue (Estimate =−2.69, SE = 1.03, p = 0.011)"
