Aerobic exercise and thinking skills in kids with obesity
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at how aerobic exercise (like running or biking) affects attention, planning, and decision-making in children ages 8-10 who have obesity. It compares kids who do the exercise program with those who don't, to see if exercise helps with brain function.
