Abstract | Structured exergaming with prescribed moderate in-tensity physical activity has reduced adiposity among adolescents.The extent to which adolescents reduce adiposity when allowed toself-select intensity level is not known. he objective of the study was to examine the influence ofexergaming on adolescent girls’ body composition and cardiovascularrisk factors. |
|
Metodology | This randomized controlled trial assigned 41 overweightand obese girls aged 14 to 18 years to group-based dance exergaming(36 h over 3 months) or to a self-directed care control condition. Bodysize and composition were measured by anthropometry, dual-energyX-ray absorptiometry [%fat and bone mineral density {BMD}] and mag-netic resonance imaging. Cardiovascular risk factors included bloodpressure, cholesterol, triglycerides, glucose and insulin |
|
Findings | Exergaming reduced body fat and increased BMDamong those adolescent girls who adhered. Further research is re-quired before exergami ng is recommended in clinical settings. Attrition was 5%. Using analysis of covariance controlling forbaseline value, age and race, there were no significant condition differ-ences. Per protocol (attended >75%), the intervention group signifi-cantly decreased abdominal subcutaneous adiposity and increasedtrunk and spine BMD (ps 2600 steps/session),the intervention group significantly decreased leg %fat and decreasedabdominal subcutaneous and total adiposity (ps |
