Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study evaluates the effects of physical exercise through active videogame in the microcirculation, macrocirculation, cardiorespiratory function and physical fitness in overweight adolescents. For that, they will be randomized into two groups, one being a control group and the other intervention group. The randomization will be made by school. The intervention group will perform the physical exercise through the active video game, three times a week, for 50 minutes, during 8 weeks. Reassessments will be performed before and after the intervention to evaluate the outcome variables.

Allocation Method

RANDOMIZED

Intervention Model

PARALLEL

Intervention with two comparison groups. The control or experimental group will be randomly defined by school

* "Experimental" group: will perform physical activity through the use of the active videogame associated with a gamification strategy three times a week for 50 minutes for a period of 8 weeks.
* Control group: there will be no intervention proposal, only used for data comparison.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Active video game

The adolescents will be submitted to physical activity with active video game for 50 minutes, 3 times a week, for a period of eight weeks. The XBOX360® platform will be used with the Kinect accessory (Microsoft®) and Just Dance will be the selected game. The music used for intervention will be previously selected, including those that can lead to moderate intensity, and assembled in blocks of 10. For each week, a new block and challenges must be elaborated to increase the motivation to carry out the physical activity.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Active video game

Intervention Type OTHER

Among the 20 municipal schools, two will be selected between those with 298 or more students (corresponding to the third quartile of the number of students per school). Next will be selected the school in which the adolescents will be submitted to intervention, and the students from the other school will be control. The intervention will aim to promote physical exercise through active video game XBOX 360 with Kinect. The game selected will be Just Dance, to allow the participation of up to four students at the same time. In addition, a gamification protocol will be performed to increase the adolescents engagement in the exercise.

control

A follow-up will be done for eight weeks to compare the variables. The adolescents in this group will be interviewed monthly to detect changes in eating habits and lifestyle.
