A neuroscientific explanation for the learning effects attributed to Teaching Games for Understanding in physical education and sport coaching practices.
Review in Frontiers in sports and active living, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
This paper bridges two bodies of literature by proposing that TGfU can be reconceptualised as a form of implicit BET within PE and sports coaching contexts. By exploring potential links between the cognitive and psychomotor outcomes of TGfU and neurocognitive mechanisms proposed within BET, this integration offers a novel explanatory lens for understanding how game-based pedagogy enhances learning and performance. Furthermore, it provides a foundation for future research exploring how deliberate manipulation of cognitive load within TGfU may optimise both learning outcomes and mental resilience in learners.
