Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Virtual Reality Exercise
The experimental group included 60 adolescent obese children of both genders (class I obesity, BMI: 30-34.99) who received diet advices and virtual reality exercises 5 times per week for 12 weeks. Each participating child started the session with 5 minutes warming up exercises then followed by the main part which was consisted of 30 min of exercise where the child played the game using virtual reality X-Box and did different physical activities that included both the upper and lower extremities according to the game's requirements, and after that a 5 min cool-down part that involved some static flexibility exercise to allow the heart rate to lower, the total session that would be applied about 40 min (including 30 mins of Virtual reality exercises)
Dietary Advices
The Obese adolescent children participated in the study received diet advices based on a balanced low calorie diet (1500 Kcal)
Virtual reality games exercise
Virtual reality games exercises 5 times per week for 12 weeks. Each participating child started the session with 5 minutes warming up exercises then followed by the main part which was consisted of 30 min of exercise where the child played the game using virtual reality X-Box and did different physical activities that included both the upper and lower extremities according to the game's requirements, and after that a 5 min cool-down part that involved some static flexibility exercises to allow the heart rate to lower, the total session that would be applied about 40 min (including 30 mins of Virtual reality exercises)
Moderate intensity aerobic exercise
This group serves as the control group, it included 60 adolescent obese children of both genders (class I obesity, BMI: 30-34.99) who received diet advice and moderate intensity aerobic exercises (using treadmill training) 5 times per week for 12 weeks. Each participating child started the session with 5 minutes of warming-up exercises. Then the main exercise phase is performed at 50-60% of age-predicted peak heart rate using a treadmill for 30 minutes. Finally, a 5 min cool-down period is allowed, the total session took 40 minutes.
Moderate Intensity Aerobic Exercise
moderate intensity aerobic exercises (using treadmill training) 5 times per week for 12 weeks. Each participating child started the session with 5 minutes of warming-up exercises. Then the main exercise phase is performed at 50-60% of age-predicted peak heart rate using a treadmill for 30 minutes. Finally, a 5 min cool-down period is allowed, the total session took 40 minutes.
Dietary Advices
The Obese adolescent children participated in the study received diet advices based on a balanced low calorie diet (1500 Kcal)
