Summary

In recent years, with the rising obesity rate, overweight and obesity have become a hot issue of public health. As a sensitive and special group, teenagers shoulder the heavy responsibility of building the motherland, so their health is also the focus of scholars and experts. As a new type of sports game, active video game(AVG) has been proved by many studies to be able to effectively improve the sedentary behavior of teenagers, and can completely become a substitute for today's popular smart phones. In addition, due to the increase of overweight and obese teenagers, a series of psychological problems, such as anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem, also troubled this group. Some researchers can effectively improve the psychological status of the subjects through the intervention experiment of AVG. However, there are few studies on psychosocial beliefs at present, and the impact of psychosocial variables such as self-efficacy, social support and quality of life on overweight and obese groups is extremely important. Moreover, due to the impact of the COVID-19 epidemic, the relationship between family members will also change, especially the alienation and rigidity of the relationship between children and parents will show a significant growth trend. Therefore, this study mainly takes AVG play with parents' participation as the main intervention means to influence the physical activities, psychosocial beliefs and quality of parent-child relationship of the experimental target.
