Objectives: The objective was to explore the influence of aerobic exercise on the cognitive ability of obese adolescents; Methods: Fifty-six obese adolescents were selected as the research object, with 28 cases in the control group and 28 cases in the observation group, where normal learning was prepared for the control group and aerobics, diet, and comprehensive educational intervention therapy were provided for the observation group, and the neurocognitive function of both groups was assessed using a multidimensional neuropsychological test; Results: After comprehensive intervention of calisthenics, diet, and education, the body mass index, body weight, systolic blood pressure, and white light reaction in the observation group were significantly better than those in the control group, with statistically significant differences (P < 0.05), and cognitive ability test and Raven’s reasoning test scores, as well as intuitive discrimination, similar comparison, and analogy reasoning, were also significantly higher than those of the control group (P < 0.05); Conclusions: The comprehensive intervention of aerobics for obese adolescents can obviously improve their cognitive ability and has practical significance.
