Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate effects of regular aerobic exercise on brain wave activation and brain-derived neurotrophic factor in obese school underachievers. Subjects were classified into the control(n=10) and the exercise group(n=10) for students understand the purpose and wishes to participate in the study itself. Aerobic exercise was performed to HRR 80% for 60 minutes. Subjects were measured physical fitness, body composition and V·O₂ max test. Blood was analyzed cognitive relevant factors and lipid profiles. In addition the brain function index was measured by brain waves. As a result, body composition and physical fitness is not significant statistical, However anti-stress index(left, right) was increased significantly and regular exercise significantly increased of IGF-1 and BDNF levels. Therefore, reduced physical activity and increased stress is expressed by an imbalance of food intake. This is believed to have a positive impact on brain activity by increase anti-stress factors of obese poor school performance.
