Study Overview
Brief Summary
to compare the effects of virtual reality games, aerobic exercise, and dietary modifications on Quality of Life among adolescent females.
Detailed Description
The study will assess whether virtual reality games, aerobic exercise, and dietary modifications lead to significant differences in Quality of Life scores, and perceived exertion as measured by the Borg scale. Additionally, the study will evaluate whether these interventions produce varying impacts on psychological factors such as depression, anxiety, and stress, and on physical measurements like waist circumference (WC) and body fat composition.

Arms & Interventions
Virtual Reality Exercise
The group included 50 girls who received diet advice, aerobic and virtual reality exercises 3 times per week for 8 weeks. they received diet advice and aerobic exercises in form of cycle ergometer training (Each girl started session with a 5 min of warm-up. The exercise phase is performed at 65-75% of age-predicted peak heart rate using an orbitrack device for 20 minutes). Then This was followed by the main part, which consisted of 25 min of exercise when girl immersed in the game and did physical activities for the upper and lower extremities according to the game's requirements, and finally a 5 min cool-down part to lower the heart rate and end the session with static flexibility routines, the total session that would be applied about 50 min (including 30 mins of Virtual reality exercises)
Intervention: Aerobic exercise (Other)

Control group (aerobic exercise)
This group serves as the control group, it included 50 girls who received diet advice and aerobic exercises in form of cycle ergometer training for 3 times per week for 8 weeks. Each girl started session with a 5 min of warm-up. The exercise phase is performed at 65-75% of age-predicted peak heart rate using an orbitrack device for 20 minutes. Finally, a 5 min cool-down period is permitted, the total session that would be applied about 30 min.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Body mass index
Time Frame: From enrollment to the end of treatment at 8 weeks
It is the weight (in kilograms) divided by the height (in meter squares)
Fat Mass
Time Frame: From enrollment to the end of treatment at 8 weeks
Body fat mass percentage measured by body composition analysis device
Body Water Content
Time Frame: From enrollment to the end of treatment at 8 weeks
Total body water content percentage measured by body composition analysis device.
Muscle mass
Time Frame: From enrollment to the end of treatment at 8 weeks
Body muscle mass percentage measured by body composition analysis device.
Waist Circumference
Time Frame: From enrollment to the end of treatment at 8 weeks
Waist circumference measured in centimeters, where the patient would be in standing position while investigator applied the tape round the abdomen at its narrowest point between the lower rib margin and top of iliac crest at the end of quiet expiration.
Waist hip ratio
Time Frame: From enrollment to the end of treatment at 8 weeks
It is the ratio between the waist circumference and the hip circumference. Where the waist circumference should be measured at the midpoint between the lower margin of the last palpable ribs and the top of the iliac crest, using a tape measurement. While, the hip circumference should be measured around the widest portion of the buttocks, with the tape parallel to the floor.
Borg Scale (rate of perceived exertion)
Time Frame: From enrollment to the end of treatment at 8 weeks
This is the modified Borg scale (rating from 0 to 10) where 0 means \"no exertion at all\" and 20 means \"maximal exertion.\" When a measurement is taken, a number is chosen from the scale by the participant that best describes their perceived level of exertion during physical activity (Six-Minute walk test)
Secondary Outcomes
- Menstrual pain by Visual Analogue Scale (VAS)(From enrollment to the end of treatment at 8 weeks)
- Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory (PedsQL)(From enrollment to the end of treatment at 8 weeks)
- Depression Score(From enrollment to the end of treatment at 8 weeks)
- Anxiety Score(From enrollment to the end of treatment at 8 weeks)
- Stress Score(From enrollment to the end of treatment at 8 weeks)
