No results posted yet for this study

Summary

This is a 3-arm trial to compare exercise videogames versus traditional standard exercise using stationary bikes and treadmills versus a control condition. Results will examine minutes of physical activity at 12 weeks and 6 month follow up between conditions. We will also examine changes in indicators of cardiovascular health (e.g., body mass index, lipids) and changes in psychological factors that may be predictive of continued exercise engagement.
