Brief Summary

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

The primary purpose of this study is to examine the effects of regular exergaming for 8 weeks in 24 overweight/obese children and adolescents (10-17 years) on maximal aerobic fitness (VO2max) and physical activity levels measured before and after (8 weeks) intervention period, and in addition at follow-up (12 weeks). We also wish to investigate the effects on markers of cardio metabolic health and body composition, measured at baseline, 8 weeks and 12 weeks follow-up.

Also, the participants gaming frequency will be registered throughout the 8 week period, as well as during the follow-up between 8 and 12 weeks. Aim of this study is to investigate if access to this game can provide health benefits for overweight/obese children and adolescents.
