Impact of Exergaming on Adolescent Youth

November 8, 2017 updated by: David Martins, Charles Drew University of Medicine and Science

RCMI Clinical Research Infrastructure Initiative: Exergaming

The purpose of this study is to gather information on how much exercising with video games (ExerGaming) can increase the physical activity among overweight and youth. This study will try to see if participating in physical activity and exercising with video games at the same time can make overweight children move around more to better their own health. The hypothesis is that those in Exergaming arm will physiological changes and increase physical activity.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Ages Eligible for Study

12 years to 14 years (Child)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Yes

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • male and female
  • aged 12-14 years
  • baseline BMI > 25
  • gender- and age-specific 85th percentile cutoff points from the CDC growth chart
  • parental consent and subject assent

Exclusion Criteria:

  • subjects not meeting the inclusion criteria or with physician-determined musculoskeletal, cardiopulmonary, metabolic, psychological, neuro-developmental or behavioral conditions that make mild-to-moderate physical activity potentially hazardous.
  • Participants under the age of 12 are excluded from the study because Weingart YMCA has an age policy. Children under the age of 12 are not allowed to be at the facility alone. Therefore, the minimum age for the study is 12 years old so supervision is not a problem.
