NCT ID NCT07344389
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether an 8-week virtual reality exercise program using the Microsoft Kinect can improve body composition, balance, and daily participation in 32 children aged 8-14 with hyperlipidemia (high cholesterol). The program includes game-based activities like boat navigation and ball games, with real-time feedback. The goal is to see if this fun approach can motivate kids to be more active and improve their health.
