Systematic review reveals cognitively engaging exercises improve inhibitory control in obese youth, suggesting optimal intervention methods.

Cognitively engaging exercises most effectively improve inhibitory control in overweight and obese youth (SUCRA = 85.5%).
Aerobic exercise ranks second in enhancing inhibitory control with a SUCRA of 81.4%.
Coordination exercises and acute exercise follow, with SUCRAs of 67.9% and 65.3% respectively.
The findings suggest a need for behavioral strategies to encourage healthy habits alongside effective exercise interventions.

Wang et al. (2025) studied this question.
