A recent study conducted by the University of Rhode Island examined the relationship between adiposity (body fat), fitness, mental well-being, and neurocognitive function in preadolescent children. The study involved 58 children aged 8-10 and found that higher levels of adiposity were associated with higher levels of trait anxiety and disordered eating, while higher levels of fitness were associated with lower levels of childhood depression. The study also found specific neurocognitive associations with adiposity-related and fitness-related outcomes after exercise and rest interventions. Overall, the study suggests that adiposity and fitness have differential effects on neurocognitive performance in children. [Extracted from the article] |
