Exercise, specifically multicomponent training, is effective for CRF improvement, but the main challenge is to ensure adherence to exercise in children with overweight and obesity. Therefore, new ways of exercising that are more attractive and motivational for this population are needed and playing or training with active video games (AVGs) has been proposed as an effective alternative because they require full-body movement and therefore increase energy expenditure. Objective: The main aim of this study was to investigate the effects of an AVG intervention combined with multicomponent training on CRF at maximal and submaximal intensities in children with overweight or obesity. Methods: We recruited 28 children (13 girls and 15 boys) aged 9 to 11 years with overweight or obesity from medical centers and divided them into 2 groups, an intervention group (n=20) that participated in a 5-month supervised AVG exercise program combined with multicomponent exercise, and a control group (n=8) that continued daily activities without modification. A maximal stress test to measure CRF using a walking-graded protocol with respiratory gas exchange was performed by the participants. Results: The AVG group showed a significant decrease in heart rate and oxygen uptake for the same intensities in the submaximal stages of the maximal treadmill test, as well as a lower oxygen uptake percentage according to the individual maximal oxygen uptake, whereas the control group did not show overall changes. No change in the peak oxygen uptake (VO2peak) was found. Conclusions: A 5-month AVG intervention combined with multicomponent exercise had positive effects on CRF at submaximal intensity, showing a lower heart rate and oxygen uptake at the same intensities and displaying a lower oxygen uptake percentage according to the individual (VO2peak). Greater benefits were found in children with the highest fat percentage.Trial Registration: ClinicalTrials.gov NCT04418713; https://clinicaltrials.gov/show/NCT04418713 000117684 536__ $$9info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/DGA-FSE/IIU-2023-2017$$9info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MINECO/DEP2017-85194-P 000117684 540__ $$9info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess$$aby$$uhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/es/ 000117684 590__ $$a4.0$$b2022 000117684 592__ $$a0.78$$b2022 000117684 591__ $$aHEALTH CARE SCIENCES & SERVICES$$b27 / 106 = 0.255$$c2022$$dQ2$$eT1 000117684 593__ $$aPhysical Therapy, Sports Therapy and Rehabilitation$$c2022$$dQ1 000117684 591__ $$aPUBLIC, ENVIRONMENTAL & OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH$$b75 / 207 = 0.362$$c2022$$dQ2$$eT2 000117684 593__ $$aRehabilitation$$c2022$$dQ1 000117684 591__ $$aMEDICAL INFORMATICS$$b14 / 31 = 0.452$$c2022$$dQ2$$eT2 000117684 593__ $$aPsychiatry and Mental Health$$c2022$$dQ2 000117684 593__ $$aBiomedical Engineering$$c2022$$dQ2 000117684 594__ $$a5.1$$b2022 000117684 655_4 $$ainfo:eu-repo/semantics/article$$vinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion 000117684 700__ $$0(orcid)0000-0002-3847-3300$$aVillalba Heredia, Lorena$$uUniversidad de Zaragoza 000117684 700__ $$0(orcid)0000-0002-1113-9169$$aPerez Lasierra, Jose Luis$$uUniversidad de Zaragoza 000117684 700__ $$0(orcid)0000-0002-0137-9900$$aLozano Berges, Gabriel$$uUniversidad de Zaragoza 000117684 700__ $$0(orcid)0000-0001-8500-1667$$aMatute Llorente, Angel$$uUniversidad de Zaragoza 000117684 700__ $$0(orcid)0000-0002-4303-4097$$aVicente Rodriguez, German$$uUniversidad de Zaragoza 000117684 700__ $$0(orcid)0000-0002-7215-6931$$aCasajus, Jose Antonio$$uUniversidad de Zaragoza 000117684 700__ $$aGonzalez Aguero, Alex 000117684 7102_ $$11006$$2245$$aUniversidad de Zaragoza$$bDpto.
