“…Although this type of training has been developed especially for a younger population with the aim to minimize the injury risk during sport activities, thanks to a better movement symmetry and “motor awkwardness” [ 23 , 28 , 35 ], there is a plethora of studies that demonstrated the effectiveness of INT also in adulthood by enhancing both health and skill-related physical fitness components. Moreover, INT improved also cognitive and psychological performance (e.g., selective attention, cognitive flexibility, motivation, self-efficacy, vitality, enjoyment) with contrasting results on body weight change or fat mass reduction [ 36 – 49 ].…”

“…Regarding the effects of INT on cognition, three studies showed beneficial adaptations on cognitive and psychological performances [ 36 , 39 ]. In detail, psychological distress scores detected using a specific questionnaire (i.e., General Health Questionnaire -12) significantly decreased by 68%, vitality score increased by 53% ( p = 0.001) and finally also the introjected regulation, intrinsic regulation and identified regulation significantly improved throughout the five-month period ( p = 0.001; p = 0.004, p = 0.001).…”

“…During the subsequent 5 month-detraining period, these results were attenuated, but not completely lost when compared to baseline scores [ 39 ]. As for neurological functions, the brain-derived neurotrophic factor had a significant enhancement in both active and inactive obese women, as well as the executive function performances following a specific INT training regimen [ 36 ]. Last but not least, a specific neuromuscular training program presented significant changes overtime in exercise enjoyment ( p = 0.002) compared to a common exercise protocol [ 44 ].…”

Background and objective The association between physical activity and diet has a valuable impact in weight status management to counteract obesity. In this context, within different training strategies (i.e., endurance, resistance training, concurrent training, agility training) the Integrative Neuromuscular Training (INT) represents a structured training mode focused on global human movement pattern development with the aim to enhance motor control, mobility and stability. In this narrative review we aimed to discuss the feasibility of INT interventions on physical fitness and body composition outcomes in individuals with obesity. Subjects Medline/PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, Google Scholar including were searched before 1st February 2023 without restrictions on publication year. Methods Two researchers extracted data from published trials. Randomized controlled trials or clinical trials, Body Mass Index of children and adolescents at the 95% percentile or greater, and for adults to be above 30 kg/m2, detailed intervention description, randomization process and allocation into an experimental or a control group, trials must have been written in English, were included. Results We included a total of 19 studies complying with the inclusion criteria for the review process. There is evidence that INT promotes positive adaptations in fitness levels in both younger and older participants with concomitant ameliorations during a shorter, medium and longer time period. Moreover, cardiorespiratory fitness, muscular strength, balance, postural control and body composition reached significant remarkable improvements following a specific intervention based on INT principles compared to other training mode. However, Body Mass Index, fat mass percentage and waist circumference showed similar changes overtime. Conclusions Taken together, these findings support the effectiveness of INT in ameliorating physical fitness (i.e., health-related and skill related components) without negative changes in body composition. Nevertheless, fitness coaches and therapists may consider this training modality a feasible option when prescribing physical exercise in outpatients with obesity.

“…Physical exercise that promotes the synthesis of neurotrophic factors may result in neurogenesis and brain synaptogenesis, thus ameliorating cognitive impairments. In a study conducted by Alizadeh and Dehghanizade [ 46 ], physical exercise increased BDNF levels and improved executive function in obese women. Among obese women who underwent postmenopausal conditions, a recent study also demonstrated the positive effects of physical exercise on neurotrophic factors [ 25 ].…”

Obesity and estrogen deprivation have been identified as significant risk factors for cognitive impairment. Thus, postmenopausal conditions when paired with obesity may amplify the risks of developing dementia. Physical exercise has been recommended as a primary treatment for preventing obesity-related comorbidities and alleviating menopausal symptoms. This narrative review aimed to summarize the effects of exercise on cognition in obese individuals with and without menopausal condition, along with potential physiological mechanisms linking these interventions to cognitive improvement. Research evidence has demonstrated that exercise benefits not only physical but also cognitive and brain health. Among various types of exercise, recent studies have suggested that combined physical–cognitive exercise may exert larger gains in cognitive benefits than physical or cognitive exercise alone. Despite the scarcity of studies investigating the effects of physical and combined physical–cognitive exercise in obese individuals, especially those with menopausal condition, existing evidence has shown promising findings. Applying these exercises through technology-based interventions may be a viable approach to increase accessibility and adherence to the intervention. More evidence from randomized clinical trials with large samples and rigorous methodology is required. Further, investigations of biochemical and physiological outcomes along with behavioral changes will provide insight into underlying mechanisms linking these interventions to cognitive improvement.

“…Other potential neurobiological pathways were adiponectin,18 19 irisin20 and other PA-related myokines 21 22. Given that both obesity and cognitive deterioration are closely related to low BDNF23 24 and the relationship can be reversely moderated by increased PA levels via BDNF induction,25–27 it is strongly believed that the major factor accounting for the cognitive benefits of exercise training in obesity is enhanced level of BDNF.…”

IntroductionEpidemic obesity (‘globobesity’) has led to a considerable rise in the prevalence and incidence of many disabling conditions, including cognitive dysfunction. Recent evidence has suggested that habitual exercise can alleviate the deleterious effects of obesity on cognitive functioning across the lifespan. Given that there is a potential link among obesity, exercise, cognitive health and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), this systematic review aims to critically appraise interventional trials on exercise and BDNF and to estimate the pooled effect of exercise training on BDNF levels among healthy individuals with overweight and obesity.Methods and analysisSix electronic databases—PubMed, MEDLINE, EMBASE, Web of Science, Ovid Nursing Database and SPORTDiscus—will be searched from their inception through December 2022. Only interventional studies, including randomised controlled trials and quasi-experimental studies, with full text available and reported in English will be included. The primary outcomes will be changes in BDNF levels among healthy subjects with overweight and obesity following either acute or chronic bouts of exercise interventions. Two reviewers will independently conduct data extraction and risk of bias assessment for included trials using the Physiotherapy Evidence Database Scale. We will produce a narrative synthesis, with findings categorised by sex, age groups and types of exercise training. Data will be extracted and pooled for meta-analyses using random-effects models.Ethics and disseminationNo formal ethical approval is required for this systematic review. The findings of this review will be disseminated through peer-reviewed publications.PROSPERO registration numberCRD42023414868.
