  This study will test the effects of a brief bout of moderate physical exercise on the executive functioning and food consumption of preadolescent children in rural communities. Twenty minutes of moderate-intensity movement introduced immediately before food exposure in rural schools may prompt acute improvements in children’s eating habits, thereby reducing their risk for excess weight gain and chronic disease development.
