“…A larger sample size and measures that accurately capture the energy expenditure of AlwO and LLM would help clarify this. However, this does suggest that AlwO would benefit from programs aimed at increasing the habitual time spent in MVPA (40).…”

Background Adolescents living with obesity (AlwO) can have limited exercise capacity. Exercise capacity can be predicted by a 2-factor model comprising lung function and leg muscle function, but no study has looked at cycling leg muscle function and its contribution to cycling exercise capacity in AlwO. Methods 22 nonobese adolescents and 22 AlwO (BMI>95 percentile) were studied. Anthropometry, body composition (DEXA), spirometry, 30-sec isokinetic work capacity, and maximal exercise (cycle ergometry) were measured. Results AlwO had greater lean leg mass (LLM) (14.8±4.1 vs 21.0±4.3 kg, Con vs AlwO p<0.001). Lung function did not differ, although FEV trended higher in AlwO (101.0±13.1 vs 107.9±12.7 percent predicted, p=0.08). Leg 30-second work output did not differ in absolute terms or per allometrically scaled LLM. Peak oxygen consumption did not differ between the groups in absolute terms or as percent predicted values (78.5±15.4 vs 82.1±16.5 percent predicted), but was lower in AlwO when expressed per scaled kg of LLM. Peak oxygen consumption related to both lung function and 30-second work capacity, with no observed group effect. 30-second leg work capacity related to the scaled muscle mass, with a small group effect. There was some correlation between leg work capacity and time spent in moderate to vigorous physical activity in AlwO (r =0.39, p=0.07). Conclusion AlwO have larger LLM and preserved exercise capacity, when expressed as percentage of predicted, but not per allometrically scaled LLM. Increasing time spent in moderate to vigorous activity may benefit AlwO.

“…The decrease in global PA level can be associated to the rise of digital technology. Indeed, with easy access to the Internet on mobile devices, screen time has progressively replaced physically active behaviors ( 15 ). Instead of reducing the use of technology, novel strategies are to wisely use it to promote PA and active behaviors ( 16 ).…”

In recent years, the use of exergaming for physical activity practice has gain in popularity but few is known about the use of augmented reality for physical activity, particularly at moderate to vigorous intensities. The present study examined the use of an exergame in augmented reality for aerobic training in healthy young adults. In a within-subject design, 18 participants (19.8 ± 1.4 years of age) have performed two physical activity sessions playing dodgeball. Indeed, they realized a classical dodgeball session and an exergaming session with an augmented reality version of dodgeball game. Physical loads and intensities were measured with accelerometers, RPE and heart sensors. Enjoyment experienced during the sessions was measured with the short version of the physical activity enjoyment scale questionnaire. Results revealed that both physical load and intensity were appropriate for aerobic training in the two conditions (i.e., classical and exergame in augmented reality) although values were significantly higher in the classical condition. Enjoyment was high in the two conditions with a higher significant value in the classical condition compared to the exergame in augmented reality condition. Put together, these results indicate that an aerobic state can be attained through both physical gameplay and its augmented reality equivalent and was associated to a high level of enjoyment among healthy young adults.

BackgroundAdolescents living with obesity (AlwO) can have limited exercise capacity. Exercise capacity can be predicted by a 2‐factor model comprising lung function and leg muscle function, but no study has looked at cycling leg muscle function and its contribution to cycling exercise capacity in AlwO.MethodsTwenty‐two nonobese adolescents and 22 AlwO (BMI > 95 percentile) were studied. Anthropometry, body composition (dual‐energy X‐ray absorptiometry), spirometry, 30‐s isokinetic work capacity, and maximal exercise (cycle ergometry) were measured.ResultsAlwO had greater total body mass, lean body mass, and lean leg mass (LLM). Lung function trended higher in AlwO. Leg 30‐s work did not differ in absolute terms or per allometrically scaled LLM. Peak oxygen consumption did not differ between the groups in absolute terms or as percent predicted values (79.59 ± 14.6 vs. 82.3 ± 11.2% predicted control versus ALwO) but was lower in AlwO when expressed per kg body mass, kg lean body mass, scaled lean body mass, and LLM. Peak oxygen consumption related to both lung function and 30‐s work, with no observed group effect. 30‐s leg work related to the scaled LLM, with a small group effect. There was some correlation between leg work and time spent in moderate to vigorous physical activity in AlwO (rs = 0.39, p = .07).ConclusionAlwO have larger LLM and preserved exercise capacity, when expressed as percentage of predicted, but not per allometrically scaled LLM. Increasing time spent in moderate to vigorous activity may benefit AlwO.
