Investigation of the Effects of Aerobic Exercise Training and Virtual Reality-Based Games on Functional Capacity, Activity, and Participation in Children Between 6 and 10 Years of Age Under Protection and Care,
The study was conducted to investigate the effects of aerobic exercise training and virtual reality-based games on functional capacity, activity and participation.
63 children between the ages of 6-10, living under protection and care, were randomly assigned to participate in the study.
Individuals in the aerobic exercise training and virtual reality-based game group received 24 training sessions, 2 days a week, for 12 weeks.
The control group received no training and was asked to continue their normal lives.
All study participants were assessed before and after the 12-week training.

Descrição detalhada
The study was conducted to investigate the effects of aerobic exercise training and virtual reality-based games on functional capacity, activity and participation.
63 children (Aerobic exercise=21, virtual reality-based game=21, control=21) between the ages of 6-10, living under protection and care, were randomly assigned to participate in the study.
Individuals in the aerobic exercise training and virtual reality-based game group received 24 training sessions, 2 days a week, for 12 weeks.
The control group received no training and was asked to continue their normal lives.
All study participants were assessed before and after the 12-week training.
Functional capacity was assessed using the 6-minute walk test.
Body image measurements were assessed using the Physical Self-Assessment Scale.
Physical activity levels were assessed using the Physical Activity Scale.
Participation was assessed using the Child and Adolescent Participation Survey.

Comparador Ativo: fonksiyonel kapasite
The 6-minute walk test was used to measure functional capacity.
This test is performed at the person's own walking speed.
|
The exercises consisted of 10 minutes of warm-up exercises, 20 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic exercises, and 10 minutes of cool-down exercises.
Children in this group were given virtual reality-based games twice a week for 12 weeks, totaling 24 sessions, under the supervision of a specialist physiotherapist.
Each session was planned to last 20-25 minutes.
There would be 4-5 repetitions depending on the difficulty level of the games, with 1-minute rest breaks between each repetition.
