Brief Summary

The aim of this study will be to compare the effects of Xbox Kinect Sports (XKS) with respect to Nintendo Switch Sports (NSS) and the inactive control group (CG) on body composition (percent body fat and fat-free mass) and physical performance (hand grip strength, HGS; 30 seconds standing in a chair, timed get up and walk, TUG; sit and reach and 2-minute step test) in physically inactive older women. This study will be randomized controlled trial with three parallel groups: XKS (n= 13), NSS (n= 14) and CG (n= 16).

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (7)

• Change from Fat-free mass at 12 weeks

  This variable is obtained by body composition (bioimpedance), using eight-electrode tetrapolar bioimpedance (InBody 570®, Body Composition Analyzers, South Korea). For each measurement, the guidelines of the International Society for Advances in Kinanthropometry will be followed (Marfell-Jones et al., 2012).

  2 weeks

• Change from Body fat percentage at 12 weeks

  This variable will be obtained by body composition (bioimpedance), using eight-electrode tetrapolar bioimpedance (InBody 570®, Body Composition Analyzers, South Korea). For each measurement, the guidelines of the International Society for Advances in Kinanthropometry will be followed (Marfell-Jones et al., 2012).

  2 weeks

• Change from Maximal isometric handgrip strength at 12 weeks

  Previous recommendations indicate that maximal isometric handgrip strength (Lupton-Smith et al., 2022), was employed. The best position for testing was found to be sedentary, with the wrist and forearm in a neutral position, the elbow flexed at a 90-degree angle to the side of the body, the spine aligned, and the shoulder in a neutral position. A portable dynamometer (Jamar®, PLUS+, Sammons Preston, Patterson Medical, Warrenville, IL, USA) was used for testing. The dynamometer was placed in the first position, which promotes contact between the first phalanx of the thumb and index finger, to allow a firm grip on the device while preserving proper closure of the metacarpal, palatine, and interphalangeal joints based on hand size. Each participant performed three attempts with each hand after a 120-second rest.

  2 weeks

• Change from 30-second chair stand test at 12 weeks

  The 30-second chair stand test (Bruun et al., 2019), which measures the number of repetitions performed standing and sitting in a chair with arms resting on the chest for 30 seconds, will be used to assess lower limb muscle strength and the ability to perform activities of daily living (Jones et al., 1999). The best of the three efforts will be taken into account for the analysis after three attempts, with a recovery of 120 seconds between them.

  2 weeks

• Change from Timed up-and-go test at 12 weeks

  The tiemd up-and- go test will be performed according to previous recommendations (Christopher et al., 2021). The individual will be asked to get out of a chair with arm rests, walk down a 3-meter hallway, turn around, and return to the chair. The timed up-and-go is a measure of functional mobility and dynamic balance (Podsiadlo \& Richardson, 1991). They are asked to perform three trials and quickly record the best one. Using single-beam photocells (Brower Timing System, Draper, UT, USA), two evaluators will record the time; a statistical analysis of the three best trials will be performed.

  2 weeks

• Change from Sit-and-reach test at 12 weeks

  Using the sit-and-reach test, flexibility was assessed (Rikli \& Jones, 2013). Subjects sat forward in a chair with a fixed back, one leg bent on the floor and the other left leg straight. Either the left or right leg could be used for comfortable running; however, the post-test measured the same leg as the pre-test. After correcting one position once again, the other bent leg case was assessed for flexibility by running two trials using the highest number to determine the outcome (Lemmink et al., 2003).

  2 weeks

• Change from 2-minute step test at 12 weeks

  Cardiorespiratory fitness was measured using the 2-minute step test (Rikli \& Jones, 2013). Participants were asked to stand up straight and the average distance between the kneecap and the pelvic bones was marked on a wall with colored tape. Participants performed steps so that their knees were raised above the marked point and the number of repetitions in 2 minutes was recorded (Rikli \& Jones, 2013).

Study Arms (3)

Experimental group 1 (Xbox Kinect Sports)

EXPERIMENTAL

The programs were then designed for a duration of 12 weeks (36 sessions), with a 10-minute warm-up consisting of low-intensity aerobic activities and joint mobility, a 40-minute main part and a 10-minute cool-down with static flexibility exercises. The main part of the training sessions included active exergames of volleyball, bowling, boxing, and table tennis, each lasting 8 minutes, with 2 minutes of rest between games. In these active exergames, playing the games will require standing in front of a sensor on a camera under the TV screen in a 3.5-meter-wide range of motion (Li et al., 2021; Marotta et al., 2022).

Other: Physical activity

Experimental group 2 (Nintendo Switch Sports)

EXPERIMENTAL

The programs were then designed for a duration of 12 weeks (36 sessions), with a 10-minute warm-up consisting of low-intensity aerobic activities and joint mobility, a 40-minute main part and a 10-minute cool-down with static flexibility exercises. In Nintendo Switch Sports in order to run the games of these active exergames you will have to have a controller in your hand that has no cable because it connects via Bluetooth to the console, as in Xbox Kinect Sports you have to play in front of the TV screen (Ramolete et al., 2020). In Nintendo Switch Sports, there will be active exergames of volleyball, bowling, fencing and tennis in the main part, each of 8 min duration, with 2 minutes of rest between games.

Other: Physical activity

Control group

NO INTERVENTION

The control group, the individuals will participate in the assessments (initial and final) and only played board games twice a week for 60 minutes.

Interventions

Physical activity OTHER

The complexity of the games will increase as the levels of the sports games advance, which leads to faster movements with greater demands to progress in the sequence of the games, which allows reaching increases in intensity.
