Participant Flow

Thirty young healthy volunteers were enrolled in this randomized, crossover trial to examine the energy expenditure associated with Wii Fit and treadmill walking/running compared to sedentary resting between September 2009 and April 2010. Recruitment flyers were placed in the University of Rochester, Strong Memorial Hospital.

Each participant was assigned to a crossover sequence based on a computer generated randomization schedule using SAS 9.2. A washout period of at least 24 hours separated each study session.
