Abstract

Objective: This systematic review summarizes the literature on the associations between movement behaviors (eg, sleep, sedentary behavior, and physical activity [PA]) and cognition, and academic achievement (AA) in children and adolescents.

Methods: Four electronic databases (PubMed, Embase, PsycINFO, and SPORTDiscus) were searched from inception until October 2023.

Results: This systematic review included 24 reports, representing 48,558 youth aged 6-17.9 years. Ten reports (46%) showed a high risk of bias, and overall quality of evidence ranged from very low to moderate. No reports assessed the associations between sleep and cognition; 1 cross-sectional report showed beneficial associations between sleep and AA. Sedentary behaviors showed null associations with AA in 43% of the reports; however, screen time was detrimentally associated with AA in all reports. Overall, 57% of the reports looking at the associations between PA and cognition showed beneficial associations; 53% showed beneficial associations between PA and AA; 56% of the randomized controlled trials showed beneficial impacts on cognition (3 out of 5) or on AA (2 out of 4).

Conclusions: Overall, this systematic review showed evidence of beneficial associations between PA and cognition and AA, as well as detrimental effects of screen time. Due to the many inconsistent results found for sedentary behavior, together with scarce data on associations between sleep duration and cognition, and AA in children and adolescents, more research is needed so researchers can draw strong and evidence-based conclusions.

儿童和青少年运动行为、认知和学习成绩之间的关系：系统综述。

目的：对儿童和青少年运动行为（如睡眠、久坐行为和身体活动[PA]）与认知和学习成绩（AA）之间的关系进行系统综述。方法：检索自建库至2023年10月的PubMed、Embase、PsycINFO和SPORTDiscus 4个电子数据库。结果：本系统综述纳入24份报告，涉及48,558名6-17.9岁的青少年。10份报告（46%）显示高偏倚风险，总体证据质量从极低到中等。没有报告评估睡眠和认知之间的关系；横断面报告显示睡眠与AA之间存在有益的联系。43%的报告显示久坐行为与AA无关；然而，在所有报告中，屏幕时间与AA有不利关系。总体而言，57%的研究PA和认知之间关联的报告显示出有益的关联；53%的人表现出PA与AA之间的有益关联；56%的随机对照试验显示对认知（5项中的3项）或对AA（4项中的2项）有有益的影响。结论：总体而言，该系统综述显示了PA与认知和AA之间有益的关联，以及屏幕时间的有害影响。由于在久坐行为方面发现了许多不一致的结果，加上关于睡眠时间与认知以及儿童和青少年AA之间关系的数据很少，因此需要进行更多的研究，以便研究人员能够得出强有力的、基于证据的结论。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Physical Activity and Health (JPAH) publishes original research and review papers examining the relationship between physical activity and health, studying physical activity as an exposure as well as an outcome. As an exposure, the journal publishes articles examining how physical activity influences all aspects of health. As an outcome, the journal invites papers that examine the behavioral, community, and environmental interventions that may affect physical activity on an individual and/or population basis. The JPAH is an interdisciplinary journal published for researchers in fields of chronic disease.
