| 520 | 3 | |a This meta-analysis investigates the relationship between recreational physical activity and academic performance in STEM subjects-specifically math and science- among children aged 7 to 18. Despite inconsistent findings across individual studies, the analysis synthesizes data from 24 eligible studies involving 2,505 participants. Using a random-effects model, the results show a statistically significant positive effect (SMD = 0.379, p = .023) of recreational physical activity on children's STEM achievement. These findings underscore the potential cognitive and psychosocial benefits of incorporating physical activity into educational settings. Practical recommendations for educators include integrating activity breaks, outdoor learning, and interdisciplinary approaches such as STREAM. This study highlights an important, evidence-based opportunity to enhance STEM education by leveraging the developmental benefits of physical movement. | |
