abstract = {Childhood obesity has been catalogued as one of the
most serious public health problems. Among the most
important consequences of childhood obesity we can
find its negative influence on brain health. Childhood
is a critical period for neurodevelopment, and the
presence of obesity could negatively alter it. In this
context, health-related factors such as physical fitness
or physical activity may help to counteract this
negative influence. Although there is emerging
evidence on this respect, it is still not sufficient to
draw firm conclusions and several limitations have
been identified in this body of literature and must be
addressed.
Therefore, the overall aim of the present
International Doctoral Thesis is to study the role of
physical fitness, physical activity, and sedentary time
in brain health outcomes (SECTION 1), and to
investigate the effect of a 4.5-month physical exercise
program on brain health (SECTION 2) in children with
overweight/obesity.},
