Brain Endurance Training Effects: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

A 2026 meta-analysis by Jialiang Yu, aggregating results from 9 peer-reviewed articles comprising 11 studies on Brain Endurance Training (BET). The document reports pooled effect sizes for BET's impact on endurance performance, cognitive function, and mental fatigue resistance, following PRISMA 2020 guidelines. It is a 69.3 KB DOCX file shared under a CC-BY-4.0 license.

Use Cases

• Evaluating the efficacy of Brain Endurance Training on physical endurance based on reported standardized mean differences (SMDs)
• Analyzing the impact of cognitive training on reaction times using Stroop and Psychomotor Vigilance Task (PVT) metrics
• Investigating subgroup effects of training duration, frequency, and participant characteristics mentioned in the systematic review

Strengths

• Includes specific quantitative results from a meta-analysis, such as an SMD of 0.87 for endurance performance under fatigue
• Follows a systematic methodology, registered with PROSPERO (CRD420251128193) and adhering to PRISMA 2020 guidelines
• Provides detailed subgroup analyses based on training protocols and participant characteristics

Limitations

• The dataset is a 69.3 KB document; the underlying raw study data is not included, limiting direct analysis
• Row count and column-level documentation are absent; data structure must be inferred from the document text
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download
