The differential relationship of an afterschool physical activity intervention on brain function and cognition in children with obesity and their normal weight peers

Abstract: SummaryBackgroundPhysical activity (PA) is beneficial for cognitive and brain health during preadolescence. Given that childhood obesity (OB) is a public health concern, investigating this effect in children with OB is an important societal consideration.ObjectivesTo identify the effects of weight status and PA on neuroelectric indices of executive function in preadolescence.MethodsChildren were randomly assigned to a PA intervention or a wait‐list control group and completed a task that manipulated inhibitory… Show more

“…Higher speed-agility fitness was also associated with shorter P3 latency during a working memory task, indicating faster stimulus processing speed (Mora-Gonzalez et al, 2019b). The positive association of aerobic fitness and motor-coordination with the P3-ERP is supported by findings from a 9-month RCT where overweight or obese children who underwent an aerobic-and motor coordination-based intervention showed sustained P3 amplitude over time, along with sustained inhibitory control performance, whereas overweight or obese children in the waitlist control group showed decreased P3 amplitude from pre-to posttest despite no change in task performance (Logan et al, 2021). Such findings corroborate cross-sectional data which suggest that physical activity may be relevant to maintain brain functioning during inhibitory control in children with overweight or obesity.…”

“…Despite the known negative effects of obesity on brain, cognition, and academic performance in children, there is a growing body of evidence supporting physical activity as an effective means to counteract, in part, obesity-related impairments during childhood Krafft et al, 2014c;Liu et al, 2018;Logan et al, 2021;Raine et al, 2017). Physical activity refers to any bodily movement produced by skeletal muscles that requires energy expenditure (Donnelly et al, 2016).…”
