Summary

Background: Recent studies indicate that exercise-related games can improve executive function, attention processing, and visuospatial skills.

Objective: This study investigates whether exercise with exergaming can improve the executive function in patients with metabolic syndrome (MetS).

Methods: Twenty-two MetS patients were recruited and randomly assigned to the exergaming group (EXG) and treadmill exercise group (TEG). The reaction time (RT) and electrophysiological signal from the frontal (Fz), central (Cz), and parietal (Pz) cortex were collected during a Stroop task after 12 weeks' exercise.
