On June 10th, 2024, a paper by Czyż et al. titled "High contextual interference improves retention in motor learning: systematic review and meta-analysis" was published in the esteemed journal, Scientific Reports. Given its relevance to our research area and its close similarity to two recent meta-analyses our research group published on the effect of contextual interference (CI) on the acquisition and retention of motor skills in sport contexts (Ammar et al., 2023; Ammar et al., 2024), we read it with great interest. While we find the topic to be timely and the paper to be well-written, several concerns have arisen from our review of Czyż et al. This commentary summarizes the main concerns.
