Response of Lipid Profile to Virtual Reality Games Versus Moderate Aerobic Exercise Training in Children With Obesity

Summary

This trial is aiming to study the effect of virtual reality video gaming in comparison with moderate intensity aerobic exercises on lipid profile in children with Obesity

Conditions

• Obese Children and Adolescents
• Adolescent Obesity
• Obesity
• Body Mass Index

Interventions

OTHER

Moderate Intensity Aerobic Exercise

moderate intensity aerobic exercises (using treadmill training) 5 times per week for 12 weeks. Each participating child started the session with 5 minutes of warming-up exercises. Then the main exercise phase is performed at 50-60% of age-predicted peak heart rate using a treadmill for 30 minutes. Finally, a 5 min cool-down period is allowed, the total session took 40 minutes.

OTHER

Dietary Advices

The Obese adolescent children participated in the study received diet advices based on a balanced low calorie diet (1500 Kcal)

OTHER

Virtual reality games exercise

Virtual reality games exercises 5 times per week for 12 weeks. Each participating child started the session with 5 minutes warming up exercises then followed by the main part which was consisted of 30 min of exercise where the child played the game using virtual reality X-Box and did different physical activities that included both the upper and lower extremities according to the game's requirements, and after that a 5 min cool-down part that involved some static flexibility exercises to allow the heart rate to lower, the total session that would be applied about 40 min (including 30 mins of Virtual reality exercises)
