Summary

This study looked at whether aerobic exercise and virtual reality games could improve functional capacity, activity, and participation in children aged 6-10 living in care facilities. Sixty-three children were split into groups: one did aerobic exercise, one played VR games, and a control group continued normal life. After 12 weeks, researchers measured changes in walking ability, body image, physical activity, and participation.
