Does high-intensity interval exercise compared to moderate-intensity continuous exercise improve executive functions and BMI in obese adolescents with low socioeconomic status?
Both high-intensity interval exercise and moderate-intensity continuous exercise improve executive functions and BMI in obese adolescents with low socioeconomic status, with distinct benefits for each modality.
Both HIIE and MICE can effectively improve the executive functions and BMI of obese adolescents with low SES, but they exert selective promoting effects. HIIE is more advantageous in improving BMI and reducing the reaction time of cognitive flexibility, while MICE is superior in enhancing the accuracy rate of inhibitory control.
