Measure
Exergame Intervention
Participants randomly assigned to the exergame condition will participate in the intervention condition of "Klub Kinect." Klub Kinect is a 12-week intervention occurring for 90-minute sessions, 3 times per week. During each 90-minute intervention session, adolescents will engage in 60-minute bouts of aerobic gaming. Adolescents attending an exergaming session will attend concurrently. Klub Kinect: Dance Central and Just Dance are a series of rhythm games developed by Harmonix Music Systems exclusively for the Xbox 360 Kinect. The Dance Central suite of games (Dance Central 1, 2, and 3) and Just Dance will be played on the Xbox 360+ Kinect gaming console, which employs whole body movement using an infrared sensor that tracks body movements such that an external controller device is not required. The player performs dance moves demonstrated by on-screen characters and set to popular music, with a choice of over 650 dance moves, 90 dance routines, and over 300 songs.
Control (Self-Directed Care)
The control condition will receive no contact or intervention other than telephone reminders of their final clinic visit.

Baseline Characteristics

The sample did not include 3 participants who did not undergo the MRI scan due to exceeding weight limits for the MRI machine or having a metal object in the body.

The outcome is perceived peer conflict from the Friendship Quality Questionnaire, which is a 21-item self-report survey in which the participant answers questions about his or her best friend related to companionship, conflict, help/aid, security, and closeness, on a 5-point Likert scale. The survey is internally consistent, with α ranging from 0.71 to 0.86, and adequate criterion validity across sub-scales. The peer conflict sub-scale includes four questions and ranges from 4 to 20 points. A higher score indicates higher (worse) levels of peer conflict.

SE-HEPA is a 13-item self-report survey with items based on a 5-point Likert scale. Possible scores range from 1 (Disagree a Lot) to 5 (Agree a Lot). The items are summed to a total score, and a higher score indicates a higher level of self-efficacy (range: 13 to 65). Results are reported as change scores from baseline.
