Why the study?

Whether acute aerobic exercise improves inhibitory control in individuals with obesity and the precise neural mechanisms involved remain poorly understood.

Does acute aerobic exercise improve inhibitory control and modulate brain activity in obese young male adults?

Population

18 obese young male adults

Comparison

Moderate-intensity vs low-intensity aerobic exercise vs seated rest control

Design

Within-subject counterbalanced crossover study

Implication

May support acute aerobic exercise for inhibitory control in obese young males; leaves open clinical translation and broader applicability.

Structured PICO

Does acute aerobic exercise improve inhibitory control and modulate brain activity in obese young male adults?

P
Population
18 obese young male adults
I
Intervention
30-minute session of moderate-intensity aerobic exercise (MIE) or low-intensity aerobic exercise (LIE)
C
Comparator
30-minute control session consisting of a sedentary period of seated rest
O
Outcome
Inhibitory control measured by Flanker task (reaction time and accuracy) and neuroelectric mechanisms measured by EEG recordings (N2 and P3 amplitude) immediately following interventionsurrogate

Acute moderate-intensity aerobic exercise modulates brain activity by enhancing attentional resources for cognitive control in obese young adults, even without immediate behavioral improvements in reaction time.
