Schools provide a relevant context for improving children's and adolescents' physical and mental health by increasing physical activity during school hours and/or beyond. The interest in the relationship between physical activity programmes and cognition during development has recently increased, with evidence suggesting a positive association. We present a protocol of systematic reviews and meta-analysis of intervention studies that, by determining the effects of chronic physical exercise on children's and adolescents' cognitive and metacognitive functions, cognitive life skills, academic behaviours and achievement, aims to ensure procedural objectivity and transparency, and maximise the extraction of relevant information to inform policy development.
This protocol is guided by Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis Protocols (PRISMA-P) and by the Cochrane Collaboration Handbook. Databases to be utilised for a thorough selection of the pertinent literature are MEDLINE, EMBASE, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, Web of Science, PsycINFO and ERIC. Selection is proposed to encompass an international and a national publication level, with inclusion of experimental studies written in English or in Spanish, respectively. Also, relevant references included in the selected studies will be considered suitable for review as supplemental sources.We present an integrated approach to the methodological quality assessment of the selected studies, including the Jadad Scale for the assessment of the quality of randomised controlled trials and the Quality Assessment Tool for Quantitative Studies for pre-post studies and non-randomised controlled trials. The pre-post interventions mean differences will be the primary indicator of the intervention outcome.
A subgroup analysis is proposed based on cognitive functions and their neural correlates, metacognitive functions and cognitive life skills, academic achievement areas and academic behaviours.

通过在上课时间和/或课外增加体育活动，学校为改善儿童和青少年身心健康提供了一个相关的环境。最近，人们对体育活动计划与发展过程中的认知之间的关系产生了兴趣，有证据表明两者之间存在积极的关联。我们提出了一个系统评价和荟萃分析的方案，通过确定慢性体育锻炼对儿童和青少年认知和元认知功能、认知生活技能、学业行为和成就的影响，旨在确保程序的客观性和透明度，并最大限度地提取相关信息，为政策制定提供依据。
本方案以系统评价和荟萃分析首选报告项目（PRISMA-P）和 Cochrane 协作手册为指导。将利用 MEDLINE、EMBASE、Cochrane 对照试验中心注册库、Cochrane 系统评价数据库、Web of Science、PsycINFO 和 ERIC 等数据库进行全面的文献选择。拟纳入国际和国家出版物层面的研究，包括分别用英文和西班牙语撰写的实验研究。此外，还将考虑纳入选定研究中的相关参考文献，作为补充来源进行审查。我们提出了一种综合方法来评估选定研究的方法学质量，包括评估随机对照试验质量的 Jadad 量表和评估前后研究及非随机对照试验的定量研究质量评估工具。干预前后的均值差异将作为干预结果的主要指标。
拟根据认知功能及其神经相关性、元认知功能和认知生活技能、学业成就领域和学业行为进行亚组分析。
