Abstract:
Objective To observe the value of exercise for improving neuroplasticity in overweight and obese people using meta-analysis.Methods Articles of functional MRI(fMRI)studies about brain activation changes in overweight or obese people after exercise published in Web of Science,PubMed,PsycINFO and CNKI were searched from the establishment of database to August 1,2024.The data were analyzed with activation likelihood estimation(ALE),and the coordinates of brain activation clusters were obtained.Results A total of 11 articles were ultimately enrolled,including 186 overweight or obese subjects.After exercise,the activation of the right middle frontal gyrus increased in all subjects,while of the left anterior lobe of cerebellum,left precuneus and right cuneus decreased.Among them,activation of the right cingulate gyrus and right superior temporal gyrus in minors increased,while of the left anterior lobe of cerebellum and bilateral precentral gyrus decreased.And the activation of the bilateral lentiform nuclei,right middle frontal gyrus,right cingulate gyrus and right parahippocampal gyrus in adults increased,while of the bilateral precuneus decreased.Conclusion Exercise could improve activation level of brain regions related to executive function,working memory,attention and motor control in overweight or obese people,which were different between minors and adults.
