Evidence suggests that physical exercise benefits cognition across the lifespan^1,2. Nevertheless, in an umbrella review of 24 meta-analyses of randomized controlled trials, Ciria et al.³ concluded that there is no support for a causal effect of physical exercise on cognitive performance in healthy populations. As a group of international experts in the exercise–cognition field, we disagree with this conclusion due to methodological and theoretical limitations that have received little consideration. We believe the authors’ warning of caution for the World Health Organization’s recommendations² regarding the cognitive benefits of exercise is unwarranted.

有证据表明，体育锻炼有益于终生认知能力^1,2 。尽管如此，在对 24 项随机对照试验的荟萃分析进行的总体回顾中，Ciria 等人。 ³得出的结论是，没有证据支持体育锻炼对健康人群的认知表现有因果影响。作为运动认知领域的一群国际专家，我们不同意这个结论，因为方法论和理论的局限性很少得到考虑。我们认为，作者对世界卫生组织有关锻炼认知益处的建议²提出的谨慎警告是没有根据的。
