Introduction: Female track and field athletes have increased risk of low energy availability (LEA), disordered eating (DE), disorders (ED), which are associated with health performance consequences. This study explored LEA, DE, ED among United States female assessed differences in proportions between competition level bone stress injury (BSI) risk. Methods: (n = 392, aged 18-68 years) completed an online survey including the Low Energy Availability Females Questionnaire (LEAF-Q), Eating...
Summary Background Physical activity (PA) is beneficial for cognitive and brain health during preadolescence. Given that childhood obesity (OB) a public concern, investigating this effect in children with OB an important societal consideration. Objectives To identify the effects of weight status PA on neuroelectric indices executive function Methods Children were randomly assigned to intervention or wait‐list control group completed task manipulated inhibitory control, while performance (P3...
ABSTRACT Introduction The purpose of this study is to explore the effects after-school sports and physical activity (PA) participation on brain health between samples matched socioeconomic demographic factors. Methods Data were obtained from Child Mind Institute Healthy Brain Network’s protocol. Participants completed four lab assessment days collect a battery data youth mental health, cognitive health. Children aged 6–16 yr included in analyses grouped based their sports/PA outside school...
Childhood obesity is a global health concern, with >340 million youth considered overweight or obese. In addition to contributing greatly care costs, excess adiposity associated major risk factor for premature mortality from cardiovascular and metabolic diseases also negatively cognitive brain health. A complementary line of research highlights the importance cardiorespiratory fitness, by-product engaging in physical activity, on an abundance factors, including health.This study investigated...
The effects of optimal and insufficient hydration on human health have received increasing investigation in recent years. Specifically, water is an essential nutrient for health, the importance cognition has continued to attract research interest over last decade. Despite this focus, children remain a relatively understudied population relative cognition. Of those studies investigating children, findings been inconsistent, resulting from utilizing wide variety cognitive domains assessments,...
Background:Obesity is an epidemic, affecting >340 million children and adolescents worldwide. When left untreated, obesity increases the risk of developing diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, cognitive decline, mental health disorders. However, enhanced fitness through participation in exercise can prevent obesity, consequently, promotes physical health, brain wellbeing. Purpose:The aim present study was to examine mediating influence adiposity wellbeing on preadolescent brain’s...
There is an increasing prevalence of poor health behaviors during childhood, particularly in terms physical activity and nutrition. This trend has occurred alongside a growing body evidence linking these to cognitive function. B-vitamins are thought be important the neural development that occurs pregnancy, as well healthy aging. However, much less known regarding role childhood. Given preadolescent childhood critical period for development, this study investigated relationship between...
Obesity during childhood has been associated with many important physiological and neurological health considerations. Specifically concerning are the associations between youth obesity declines in mental health, as shown increasing rates of adolescent depression anxiety worldwide. The emergence disorders commonly arises development, approximately half global population satisfy criteria for at least one psychiatric disorder their lifetime, suggesting a need early intervention. Adolescence is...
Did you know that exercise may help your brain work better? Scientists are studying how kids’ brains respond to and physical activity kids learn better in school. Using equipment can them see the structure function of brain, scientists measure record what is doing while engage tasks require attention memory, or they just resting. Physical fitness better, stay focused school, do well on tests. In this article, we explore research aimed at being physically fit participating activities not only...
PURPOSE: To identify the effects of adiposity and a physical activity (PA) intervention on cognitive neuroelectric indices inhibitory control in preadolescent children. METHODS: Children were randomly assigned to either 9-month afterschool or wait-list (CON) group. completed task that manipulated at pre- post-test while measures performance P3-event related potential (ERP) assessed. further grouped according weight category. 76 children with obesity (39 PA; 37 CON) testing. A sample normal...
