“…League tables can serve as a supplement to assess the effects between different interventions using effect sizes and confidence intervals. Funnel plots can provide an intuitive assessment of bias in small-study effects due to their symmetry (Li et al, 2023b), although this may introduce publication bias in NMA. The potential impact of publication bias on study outcomes will also be investigated using Egger's and Begg's tests, and if publication bias is found, it will be explored through sensitivity analyses to identify potential sources of bias.…”

Background: Jumping ability is one of the necessary qualities for athletes. Previous studies have shown that plyometric training and complex training including plyometrics can improve athletes’ jumping ability. With the emergence of various types of complex training, there is uncertainty about which training method has the best effect. This study conducted a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials of plyometric-related training on athletes’ jumping ability, to provide some reference for coaches to design training plans.Methods: We systematically searched 3 databases (PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus) up to July 2023 to identify randomized controlled trials investigating plyometrics related training in athletes. The two researchers conducted literature screening, extraction and quality assessment independently. We performed a network meta-analysis using Stata 16.Results: We analyzed 83 studies and found that complex training, which includes high-intensity intervals and plyometric exercises, was the most effective method for improving squat jumps (SURCA = 96%). In the case of countermovement jumps a combination of electrostimulation and plyometric training yielded the best results (SURCA = 97.6%). Weightlifting training proved to be the most effective for the standing long jump (SURCA = 81.4%), while strength training was found to be the most effective for the five bounces test (SURCA = 87.3%).Conclusion: Our current study shows that complex training performs more efficient overall in plyometric-related training. However, there are different individual differences in the effects of different training on different indicators (e.g., CMJ, SJ, SLJ, 5BT) of athletes. Therefore, in order to ensure that the most appropriate training is selected, it is crucial to accurately assess the physical condition of each athlete before implementation.Clinical Trial Registration:https://www.crd.york.ac.uk/PROSPERO/, Registration and protocol CRD42023456402.

“…As for the effects of physical activity interventions, our study is consistent with some previous research findings. Physical activity can improve participants' attention problems, social abilities, and executive functions (Verburgh et al, 2014;Ludyga et al, 2016;De Greeff et al, 2018), and can produce numerous beneficial effects on physiological, psychological, and neurocognitive aspects, including reductions in stress, anxiety, depression, and negative emotions (Tsatsoulis and Fountoulakis, 2006;McKercher et al, 2009;Garcia et al, 2012;Diamond, 2015;Li et al, 2023b). Physical activity interventions also have a certain degree of improvement effect on the symptoms of ADHD patients, previous studies have shown that ADHD patients have multiple core symptoms improved after participating in long-term physical activity, including decreased attention problems, improved cognitive functions, increased coordination, and reduced behavioural problems (Niederer et al, 2011;Verret et al, 2012;Choi et al, 2015;Pan et al, 2016;Pan et al, 2019).…”

Background: Attention problems are one of the core symptoms of Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in children. Previous studies have shown that physical activity intervention has a positive impact on executive function in children and adolescents with ADHD, but there is limited research on attention problems in school-aged children with ADHD. There are still uncertainties about the appropriate physical activity interventions to improve attention problems in this population. This study conducted a Meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) related to physical activity intervention for attention problems in school-aged children with ADHD, providing a certain reference for precise intervention in attention problems for this population.Methods: We systematically searched the following databases up to October 2022: PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library, to identify RCTs that investigated the effects of physical activity interventions on children with ADHD. Two investigators independently conducted literature screening, extraction, and quality assessment. We performed a meta-analysis using Stata 15.1.Results: In total, we included 10 studies in this meta-analysis. The results indicated that physical activity intervention had a moderate effect in improving attention problems in school-aged children with ADHD (SMD = −0.48, 95% CI: 0.85, −0.07, p < 0.05). Furthermore, subgroup analysis showed that the effect of physical activity intervention was moderated by intervention type, frequency, and period, rather than the physical activity environment or single intervention time.Conclusion: Our study suggests that cognitively engaging exercise is more effective in improving attention problems in school-aged children with ADHD. Specifically, when cognitive-engaging exercise is used as the type of physical activity and the intervention frequency is less than 3 times per week, with an intervention period of less than weeks, it is most beneficial for improving attention problems in school-aged children with ADHD. However, we should also consider individual differences in children with respect to their ADHD symptoms and accurately evaluate each child’s specific symptoms before intervention.Systematic Review Registration: identifier (CRD42022363255).

“…Since the Canadian 24-hour movement guidelines were issued in 2016 ( Tremblay et al, 2016 ; Liu et al, 2022 ; Ma et al, 2022 ), emerging evidence has focused on the benefits of adhering to the movement guidelines. For optimal health outcomes, adolescents should adhere to the recommendation of a higher level of physical activity ( i.e., at least 60 min of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) per day) ( Ren, Yan & Sun, 2021 ; Li et al, 2023 ; Liu et al, 2023 ), limited screen time (ST) ( i.e., no more than 2 h per day) ( Huang et al, 2021 ), and sufficient sleep ( i.e., 8–10 h per day for 14–17 years) ( Tremblay et al, 2016 ; Liu et al, 2022 ; Li et al, 2023 ; Yan et al, 2023 ). Adherence to the 24-hour movement guidelines ( Tremblay, Carson & Chaput, 2016 ; Chen et al, 2022b ) is important for promoting health in children and adolescents ( Sampasa-Kanyinga et al, 2021 ).…”

Objective Although much evidence has demonstrated the benefits of adhering to the 24-hour movement guidelines, little is known about their association with self-rated health in adolescents. The objective of this study was to explore the association between adherence to the 24-hour movement guidelines (i.e., physical activity, screen time, and sleep) and self-rated health among Chinese adolescents aged 10–17 ages. Methods A convenient sample of 12 schools and their students were recruited for this cross-sectional study. Physical activity and screen time were assessed using a questionnaire based on the Health Behaviour in School-aged Children questionnaire, while sleep duration was used measured using the Pittsburgh Sleep Scale. Ordinal logistic regression was performed to examine the association between adherence to the 24-hour movement guidelines and self-rated health. Results Adolescents who adhered to more guidelines contained in the 24-hour movement guidelines reported better self-rated health. A dose-response association was observed, with the odds ratio (OR) for adhering to all three = 11.26, 95% CI [4.82–26.35]; OR for meeting two = 1.62, 95% CI [1.25–2.12]; OR for meeting one = 1.16, 95% CI [0.98–1.38]) indicating a higher probability of better self-rated health with increasing adherence. Regarding adherence to specific combination of 24-hour movement guidelines, positive associations were found for adhering to all three recommendations (OR = 11.95, 95% CI [5.06–28.19]), only MVPA (OR = 4.96, 95% CI [2.82–8.72]), MVPA + screen time (OR = 5.50, 95% CI [3.02–9.99]), and MVPA + sleep (OR = 4.63, 95% CI [2.52–8.51]). Conclusion This study provides evidence supporting the association between adherence to the 24-hour movement guidelines and better self-rated health among Chinese adolescents. Sufficient physical activity may be particularly important for promoting self-rated health in this population.
