Condition: Method：The Impact of APP-Based Concurrent Training Interventions on Executive Function in Overweight and Obese College Students (Preprint)

Published: Dec. 11, 2024

Objective: This study aimed to compare the effects of app-based (online) and in-person (offline) concurrent training interventions on executive function in obese overweight college students, providing insights for developing effective intervention strategies. Methods: Sixty-nine male participants aged 20 30 years with a BMI between 25 35 were recruited Beijing; after screening, 65 included. Participants randomly assigned one three groups: online intervention, offline or control, period lasting 12 weeks. Executive function—assessed through inhibitory working memory, cognitive flexibility—was measured using NIH Toolbox®. Results: indicated significant improvements Flanker task scores both group (T = -7.53, p < 0.05, Cohen's d 2.27) -5.85, 1.69), showing more pronounced effect control attention. In group, Dimensional Change showed improvement -5.17, 1.49), suggesting an advantage situational judgment decision-making. For List Sorting task, only demonstrated -3.46, 1.04), while no change -0.87, > 0.25). One-way ANOVA differences baseline among groups (Flanker: F 1.70, 0.191; Change: 0.14, 0.868; Sorting: 2.52, 0.089), confirming comparability. However, post-intervention significantly differed 25.18, 0.001; 16.57, 23.08, 0.001), supporting efficacy. Conclusion: While effectively enhanced performance, effect, particularly The flexibility accessibility make them promising option improving students. Future research should explore hybrid that combine strengths methods maximize improvement.
