After reading the article, I'm left with the feeling that the 2 are correlated, but that the study disn't actually prove causation (even if it was a longitudinal study)

Link to the original publication for those interested. They investigated the behavioral response to optogenetic activation of leptin receptors. Really interesting, but not as sensational as the news article presents.

Reply to Research suggests that school-based physical activity intervention, by way of increasing physical exercise classes to daily during school, is successful in reducing childhood obesity. Scientists found that obesity was reversed after 3 years. by Wagamaga

Before "No Child Left Behind," a lot of schools in the US had daily PE classes for kids in K-8. In a lot of schools, these classes are no longer daily classes. They are considered specials and they happen every other day. The same thing happened to music and art classes.
