Overview
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..
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
