Article Synopsis
- Previous research indicates that school-based physical activity (PA) interventions could positively affect academic performance, particularly in math, but results have been inconclusive due to varying types of PA included in studies.
- The ACTIVE SCHOOL project will implement two distinct PA interventions over one school year and will utilize a randomized controlled trial to assess their impacts on the academic performance of 9-10-year-old children.
- The study aims to gather comprehensive data on various outcomes, such as academic performance, PA levels, cognitive functions, and overall student well-being, to better understand how physical activity influences educational success.
Context And Objective: Obesity and inactivity are risk factors for developing impaired glucose tolerance characterized by insulin resistance and reduced beta-cell function. The stimulatory effect of glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) on insulin secretion is also impaired in obese, inactive individuals. The aim of this study was to investigate whether endurance training influences beta-cell sensitivity to GLP-1.
