| 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 |
