Objective To summarise the current evidence on effects of physical activity (PA) interventions cognitive and academic performance in children, formulate research priorities recommendations. Design Systematic review (following PRISMA guidelines) with a methodological quality assessment an international expert panel. We based evaluation consistency scientific findings reported studies rated as high quality. Data sources PubMed, PsycINFO, Cochrane Central, Web Science, ERIC, SPORTDiscus. Eligibility criteria for selecting PA-intervention children at least one or assessment. Results Eleven (19%) 58 included intervention received high-quality rating quality: four assessed PA performance, six both. All contrasted additional/adapted activities regular curriculum activities. For 10 21 (48%) constructs analysed showed statistically significant beneficial PA, while 15 25 (60%) analyses found effect PA. Across all five assessing mathematics, were out seven (86%) outcomes. Experts put forward 46 questions. The most pressing priority cluster concerned causality relationship between cognitive/academic performance. remaining clusters pertained to characteristics, moderators mechanisms governing ‘PA–performance’ miscellaneous topics. Conclusion There is currently inconclusive overall children. conclude that there strong maths panel confirmed more ‘high-quality’ warranted. By prioritising important questions formulating recommendations we aim guide researchers generating evidence. Our focus adequate control groups sample size, use valid reliable measurement instruments compliance data analysis. PROSPERO registration number CRD42017082505.

Physical Activity and Cognitive Functioning of Children: A Systematic Review

International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, Год журнала: 2018, Номер 15(4), С. 800 - 800

Опубликована: Апрель 19, 2018

Childhood is an important and sensitive period for cognitive development. There limited published research regarding the relationship between sports functions in children. We present studies that demonstrate influence of physical activity on health, especially a positive correlation functions. The keywords “children, cognition, function, activity, brain” were searched using PsycInfo, Medline, Google Scholar, with publication dates ranging from January 2000 to November 2017. Of 617 results, 58 articles strictly connected main topics functioning then reviewed. areas attention, thinking, language, learning, memory analyzed relative childhood. Results suggest engaging late childhood positively influences emotional paucity publications investigate impact pre-adolescents’ functions, or explore which are developed by sporting disciplines. Such knowledge would be useful developing training programs pre-adolescents, aimed at improving may guide both researchers practitioners wide range benefits result activity.

The efficacy of different interventions to foster children’s executive function skills: A series of meta-analyses.

In the present meta-analysis all available evidence regarding efficacy of different behavioral interventions for children's executive function skills were synthesized. After a systematic search we included experimental studies aiming to enhance (up 12 years age) functioning with neurodevelopmental tests as outcome measures. The results 100 independent effect sizes in 90 including data 8,925 children confirmed that it is possible foster these childhood (Diamond & Lee, 2011). We did not find convincing evidence, however, benefits remain on follow-up assessment. Different approaches effective typically and nontypically developing samples. For (including disorders or behavior problems) acquiring new strategies self-regulation biofeedback-enhanced relaxation strategy teaching programs most effective. found moderate beneficial effects mindfulness practices.

Thus, atypically seem profit from compared practice tasks. propose does meaningful implicitly functions are similarly effective, activities enjoyable can easily embedded everyday activities.

More than one road leads to Rome: A narrative review and meta-analysis of physical activity intervention effects on cognition in youth

International Journal of Sport and Exercise Psychology, Год журнала: 2016, Номер 17(2), С. 153 - 178

Опубликована: Сен. 17, 2016

A growing body of research indicates that physical activity (PA) positively impacts cognitive function in youth. However, not all forms PA benefit cognition equally. The purpose this review was to determine the effect different types chronic interventions on children and adolescents. systematic search electronic databases examination reference lists relevant studies resulted identification 28 studies. Seven categories were identified, based possible combinations three (aerobic, motor skill, cognitively engaging), four comparison groups (no treatment, academic, traditional education (PE), aerobic). Effect sizes calculated means SDs at post-test using Hedge's g formula, which includes a correction for small sample bias. Each study only entered once each intervention-comparator category. Full data provided from 21 (28 sizes; n = 2042 intervention; 2002 group). Overall, had significant small-to-moderate (0.46). Moderate positive effects identified when compared no treatment (0.86) or academic content (0.57). non-significant noted PE (0.09) aerobic group (0.80). high heterogeneity pooled suggests important differences qualitative characteristics intervention may exist. comparisons between are discussed order identify directions future investigations. We conclude have impact youth, but more is needed area.

Deliberate Play and Preparation Jointly Benefit Motor and Cognitive Development: Mediated and Moderated Effects

Frontiers in Psychology, Год журнала: 2016, Номер 7

Опубликована: Март 11, 2016

In light of the interrelation between motor and cognitive development predictive value former for latter, secular decline observed in coordination ability as early preschool urges identification interventions that may jointly impact efficiency. The aim this study was twofold. It (1) explored outcomes enriched physical education, centered on deliberate play cognitively challenging variability practice, processing; (2) examined whether mediate intervention effects children’s cognition, while controlling moderation by lifestyle factors outdoor habits weight status. Four hundred sixty children aged 5-10 years participated a 6-month group randomized with or without playful coordinative enrichment. status spontaneous (parental report play) were evaluated at baseline. Before after intervention, developmental level (Movement Assessment Battery Children) all children, who then assessed either test working memory (Random Number Generation task), attention (from Cognitive System, CAS). Children assigned to ‘enriched’ showed more pronounced improvements assessments (manual dexterity, ball skills, static/dynamic balance). beneficial effect skills amplified Among indices executive function attention, only inhibition differential type. Moderated mediation better outcome education mediated outcome, but when enrichment paralleled medium-to-high play. Results suggest specifically tailored activity games provide unique form impacts through improvement, particularly object control which are linked later life. Outdoor appears offer natural ground stimulation designed take root mind.
