Brief Summary

to evaluate the efficacy of virtual reality combined with plyometric workout on abdominal obesity in adolescent females

Conditions

Abdominal Obesity

Keywords

virtual reality; plyometric exercises; abdominal obesity; exercise capacity

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (4)

• waist circumference in centimeter

  An objective outcome measure, measured by a tap measurement before and after treatment protocol

  12 weeks

• waist-hip ratio in centimeter

  objective measure objective outcome measure, measured by a tap measurement before and after treatment protocol

  12 weeks

• Body mass index (BMI) in kg/m²

  objective outcome measure, s calculated by dividing an individual's weight in kilograms by the square of their height in meters. For children and adolescents, BMI values are categorized to assess weight status (underweight, healthy weight, overweight, obese
