| Summary of Findings | From 13 included systematic reviews of the effectiveness of mind-body exercises indexed CINAHL, Embase, PsycINFO, PubMed, SPORTDiscus, and the Cochrane Library from inception up to 20 June 2022. Using AMSTAR 2 to evaluate the included studies, no systematic reviews were judged to have high methodological quality. Two systematic reviews had low methodological quality, and most systematic reviews were judged to have very low quality. AMSTAR 2 items commonly unreported were associated with the review protocol (n = 12, 92%), the reasons to choose a specific research design (n = 13, 100%), and the provision of the sources of funding for primary studies (n = 13, 100%). Only three systematic reviews judged certainty of evidence using a gold standard for it. |
