Physical activity and school performance : Quantitative systematic literature study (English)
Abstract [sv]
Bakgrund: Den dagliga fysiska aktiviteten hos barn minskar, nya aktiviteter och intressen som utförs framför dator är en bidragande faktor till detta. Ökat stillasittande kan leda till ett flertal konsekvenser. Fysisk aktivitet kan motverka detta och bidrar till förbättrad kondition, muskelstyrka, blodtryck, blodfetter, bentäthet och BMI hos barn och unga i skolåldrarna.
Syfte: Att sammanställa hur fysisk aktivitet under skoldagen för elever (åldern 6–19) påverkar skolprestationen.
Metod: Denna systematiska litteraturstudie baseras på 13 vetenskapliga artiklar. Studierna har en kvantitativ ansats, och var genomförda med randomiserade kontroll studier RCT). En kvalitetsgranskning av materialet gjordes med hjälp av GRADE.
Resultat: I resultatet framkommer inget enhälligt resultat gällande hur fysisk aktivitet påverkar elevers skolprestation. Studierna visar i stället på tre huvudområden som sammanfattas till positivt resultat på skolprestation efter intervention, ingen förändring på skolprestation efter intervention och slutligen andra effekter av intervention.
Slutsats: Ingen generell slutsats har kunnat dras gällande ökad fysisk aktivitet och elevers skolprestation. Endast en liten del kan ha påverkats negativ av interventionen ökad fysisk aktivitet under skoldagen. Generellt kan ingen negativ påverkan ses på elevernas skolprestation efter interventionerna. Forskning visar också på att elever som hade fått ta del av dessa insatser utveckla färre problem med ångest, jämfört med barn i en kontrollgrupp.

Background: The daily physical activity of children decreases, new activities and interests performed in front of a computer are a contributing factor to this. Increased sedentary lifestyle can lead to a few consequences. Physical activity can counteract this and contribute to improved fitness, muscle strength, blood pressure, blood fats, bone density and BMI in children and adolescent of school age.
Aim: To compile how physical activity during the school day for students (age 6-19) affects school performance.
Method: This systematic literature study is based on 13 scientific articles. The studies have a quantitative approach and were conducted with randomized control studies (RCT). A quality review of the material was done with the help of GRADE.
Result: The result does not show a unanimous result regarding how physical activity affects students' school performance. Instead, the studies show three main areas that are summarized as a positive result on school performance after intervention, no change in school performance after intervention and finally other effects of intervention.
Conclusion: No general conclusion has been drawn regarding increased physical activity and students' school performance. Only a small part may have been negatively affected by the increased physical activity during the school day. In general, no negative impact can be seen on students' school performance after the interventions. Research also shows that students who have taken part in these interventions develop fewer problems with anxiety, compared with children in a control group.
