Study Arms (1)
Physical activity intervention
EXPERIMENTALThis arm will receive the physical activity intervention, which consists of three individual meetings, weekly brief counseling phone calls for 6 weeks, and provision of a video game console with three active video games.
Interventions
Participants will receive counseling on self-regulatory skill building that has been adapted to complement the video games used. We anticipate that the games used will consist of fitness, sports, and dance games and will be played on a Wii U console. The games played will be chosen by each participant from a pool of potential appropriate games.
