Anis Ben Chikha e outros, 2026 · Behavioral Sciences
An 8-week playful physical activity program embedding cognitive challenges substantially improved preschool children's inhibitory control, reducing Go/No-Go commission errors relative to standard physical education (Hedges' g = -1.78).

Errors decreased from 4.47 ± 4.38 to 1.00 ± 0.88 in the experimental group (Δ = −77.6%) and from 5.07 ± 3.31 to 4.72 ± 2.55 in the control group (Δ = −6.8%), with a large post-test between-group effect (Hedges’ g = −1.78).
Contexto
What changed: Children received an 8-week Playful Physical Activities program (3 sessions/week, 60 min each) integrating executive challenges into movement games. Comparison: Control group received standard physical education with the same frequency and duration. Limits: Small sample (N = 48) with unequal group allocation from simple randomization, lack of independent fidelity tracking, and retrospective trial registration.
