Study characteristics
Methods Study design: cluster‐RCT
Participants School inclusion criteria: schools in Danish municipalities that did not have a structured programme that incorporated PA in the classroom
School exclusion criteria:
Student inclusion criteria:
Student exclusion criteria: physical disability, no written parental consent
Setting: school
Age group: children
Gender distribution: females and males
Country where trial was performed: Denmark
Interventions Intervention: classroom‐based PA incorporated into math lessons for 1 school year. Subjects received an average of 6 math lessons of 45 minutes/week. Each lesson included at least 15 minutes of PA, with limited sedentary time. Teachers attended a series of workshops to provide them with the skills to implement task‐relevant physical activity into math teaching 
Comparator: children in control schools received regular classroom instruction, also with an average of 6 math lessons of 45 minutes/week. Math teachers in the control schools were asked not to make any changes to their usual teaching methods before study endpoint measurements
Duration of intervention: 10 months
Duration of follow‐up: 10 months
Number of schools: 12
Theoretical framework: theory of embodied cognition
Outcomes PA duration
BMI
Study registration NCT02488460 (retrospectively registered)
Publication details Language of publication: English 
Funding: non‐commercial funding (charitable trust)
Publication status: peer‐reviewed journal
Stated aim for study "We designed a randomised controlled trial with the primary objective of investigating how math achievement was affected by task‐relevant PA incorporated into math teaching for 7‐year‐old school children"
Notes  
Risk of bias
Bias Authors' judgement Support for judgement
Random sequence generation (selection bias) Low risk Quote from publication: "randomisation was performed by random selection of sealed envelopes containing the intervention allocation stratified by municipality, in the presence of school leaders, municipality representatives and study researchers"
Allocation concealment (selection bias) Low risk Quote from publication: "randomisation was performed by random selection of sealed envelopes containing the intervention allocation stratified by municipality, in the presence of school leaders, municipality representatives and study researchers"
Blinding of participants and personnel (performance bias)
All outcomes High risk Comment: not possible
Blinding of outcome assessment (detection bias)
All outcomes Low risk Quote from publication: "the research assistants were blinded to the randomisation result for measurement of the outcomes and for data entry"
Incomplete outcome data (attrition bias)
Anthropometrics, Fitness Low risk Quote from publication: "during the 9‐month intervention period, the dropout rate was 13.7% in the control group and 8.8% in the intervention group, which was not statistically significant. Dropouts were mainly attributed to subjects not present at follow‐up trials due to sickness or moving to a different city as well as subjects not being able to complete the test due to injury (e.g. the fitness test)"
Incomplete outcome data (attrition bias)
Physical activity and sedentary time Low risk Quote from publication: "during the 9‐month intervention period, the dropout rate was 13.7% in the control group and 8.8% in the intervention group, which was not statistically significant. Dropouts were mainly attributed to subjects not present at follow‐up trials due to sickness or moving to a different city as well as subjects not being able to complete the test due to injury (e.g. the fitness test)"
Selective reporting (reporting bias) Low risk Comment: all main outcomes reported
Cluster RCT ‐ Recruitment bias Low risk Comment: all baseline data were measured prior to randomisation [author communication]
Cluster RCT ‐ Baseline imbalance Low risk Quote from publication: "there were no significant differences at baseline between intervention and control group in any descriptive characteristics except height"
Cluster RCT ‐ Loss of clusters Low risk Comment: no clusters lost
Cluster RCT ‐ Incorrect analysis Low risk Quote from publication: "because of the clustered nature of the data, schools were included as random effects in the analyses and the Kenward‐Roger degrees of freedom approximation was used"
