Trial Outcomes & Findings for Active Video Games and Appetite Control in Adolescents (NCT NCT01655901)
NCT ID: NCT01655901
Last Updated: 2019-08-19
Results Overview
Energy intake (kJ) was measured using an ad libitum test meal immediately following the 3 experimental conditions, a food menu for the remainder of the day, and a dietary record for the subsequent 3-day period. Energy expenditure was measured by indirect calorimetry during the 3 experimental conditions, and by using an Actical accelerometer for the subsequent 3-day period.
