  text: <jats:p><jats:italic><jats:bold>Purpose</jats:bold>:</jats:italic> Whereas
    many studies addressed the relation between acute physical exercise and executive
    functions (EF) in children, the effects of various modalities of acute exercise
    on EF still remain unclear. This systematic review investigated the effects of
    exercise with low and high cognitive demands on speed of processing and accuracy
    of performance in tasks examining inhibition, working memory, and cognitive flexibility
    in children. <jats:italic><jats:bold>Method</jats:bold>:</jats:italic> A systematic
    literature research in electronic databases was performed. Controlled trials assessing
    the effects of acute exercise on EF in a pre–post design were included. <jats:italic><jats:bold>Results</jats:bold>:</jats:italic>
    Ten studies involving a total of 890 participants revealed positive effects in
    working memory performance in speed of processing after acute exercises with low
    cognitive demands compared with seated rest, mixed results for inhibition after
    exercises with low and high cognitive demands, and mixed results for cognitive
    flexibility with low cognitive demands. Concerning accuracy, only mixed results
    were found for inhibition after exercises with low and high cognitive demands.
    <jats:italic><jats:bold>Conclusion</jats:bold>:</jats:italic> The differentiated
    effects of acute exercises with low and high cognitive demands led to more positive
    effects in speed of processing compared with accuracy of performance. Further
    investigations including assessment of neurophysiological parameters of EF are
    needed.</jats:p>
