The quantitative synthesis consisted of 22 studies. Two moderating variables were established: physical activities with cognitive demands and the use of active breaks. The application of physical activities with cognitive demands was more effective for working on cognitive flexibility (<em>g</em> = 1.47, <em>CI</em> = [0.70, 2.25]), fluency (<em>g</em> = 1.71, <em>CI</em> = [1.16, 2.27]) and updating (<em>g</em> = 1.05, <em>CI</em> = [-0.96, 3.06]). <em>The application of active breaks</em> was more efficient for attention work (<em>g</em> = 0.74, <em>CI</em> = [0.01, 1.47]), inhibition (<em>g</em> = 1.24, <em>CI</em> = [0.56, 1.92]) and working memory (<em>g</em> = 1.00, <em>CI</em> = [-0.54, 2.55]).
