Why the study?
Exergames are used for aerobic fitness, but evidence of their effectiveness on cardiovascular risk factors compared with traditional aerobic exercise remained unclear.
Does exergaming improve cardiorespiratory fitness and endothelial function compared to traditional aerobic exercise or control in postmenopausal women with high cardiovascular risk?
Does exergaming improve cardiorespiratory fitness and endothelial function compared to traditional aerobic exercise or control in postmenopausal women with high cardiovascular risk?
Exergaming provides similar cardiovascular benefits to traditional aerobic exercise in postmenopausal women with high cardiovascular risk, offering a viable alternative for exercise therapy.
