- Brief Summary
For pre, post, and follow-up tests on the CEMG compared to control groups as following below: Responses time (Sec.): .86 - .69 VS. .86 - .84 Responses rate (%): 86.02 - 93.71 VS. 84.04 - 82.30 Body fat mass (%): 22.53 - 25.99 VS. 25.46 - 26.28 Fitness (Sec.): 368.99 - 237.17 VS. 367.55 - 360.18 PA time (min.): 30.71 VS 4.11. Our findings suggest that CEMG is effective for improving perceptual discrimination, fitness, and body fat time in overweight children.
