Trial summary
Childhood overweight have emerged as major global health concerns and are linked to lower pulmonary functions and reaction time levels among school-aged children. Although exercise, particularly multicomponent training, effectively improves pulmonary functions, maintaining exercise adherence in children with… Read more about this study

About this study
Childhood overweight have emerged as major global health concerns and are linked to lower pulmonary functions and reaction time levels among school-aged children. Although exercise, particularly multicomponent training, effectively improves pulmonary functions, maintaining exercise adherence in children with overweight remains a significant challenge. As a result, there is a need for more engaging and motivating exercise options for this group, and active structured wii protocol, which involve full-body movement and boost energy expenditure, have been suggested as a promising alternative..
Read the detailed description
Wii Fit aerobic training produces effects similar to standard rehabilitation treatments and requires low energy. This shows that it may be an effective rehabilitation technique for adults and older people with low energy levels. A review found that video games are safe and practicable in children with lung is sues. The principle of this training is that aerobic exercise en hances pulmonary adaptation by increasing the strength and endurance of the respiratory muscles. Altered aerobic training due to endurance training might diminish smooth muscle tone in the airways and enhance expiratory flow. Regular lung stretching caused by airway smooth muscle diminishes airway resistance during aerobic exercise. Reduced tone and smooth muscle contraction may reduce air resistance. As smooth mus cle tone diminishes, airway resistance decreases, and lung vol ume falls, these mechanisms are anticipated to enhance airflow

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Forced vital capacity (FVC)
The maximum amount of air expired after the maximum Inspiration in liters.
Measured: pre and post 36 sessions ( 3 sessions/week ) for 3 months
Forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1)
The air volume expired in the first second after maximal Inspiration in liters.
Measured: Pre and post 36 sessions ( 3 sessions/week) for 3 months
Peak expiratory flow (PEF)
Achieving maximum forced expiration without hesitation from the point of peak lung inflation yields the maximum expiratory flow
Measured: Pre and post 36 sessions ( 3 sessions /week ) for 3 months
Secondary outcomes (1)
Chest Expansion
Upper chest expansion (2nd intercostal space) \& Lower chest expansion (xiphoid) were assessed from the reference point mentioned by using tab
Measured: Pre and post 36 sessions ( 3 sessions / week ) for 3 months

What does the primary outcome measure?
Forced vital capacity (FVC) (time frame: pre and post 36 sessions ( 3 sessions/week ) for 3 months). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 7 Apr 2026.
