Brief summary

Aim - determine the immediate and lasting effects of Exergaming frequency on work performance, health, motor, and cognitive function in clerical employees.

Detailed description

Hypothesis - In sedentary clerical workers the introduction of even 1 session / week exercise can cause lasting and correlated improvements in work, motor, and cognitive function, and effect which plateaus at 2 compared with 3 sessions / week. However, 6 months follow up would show residual effects only at the 3/week frequency in those who had become sedentary again.

Interventions

OTHERExergame 2/week

virtual training 2 times a week(8 week-long)

OTHERExergaming 3/week

virtual training 3 times a week(8 week-long)

OTHERHealthy control / Exergaming 1/week

Primary

Measure	Time frame	Description
Motor function	8 weeks	Step test (as described by Prieske et al, motion and endurance test)
Motor Function	8 weeks	Grip strength - Chair rise (as part of SPPB) the higher score better performance
MOBILITY	8 weeks	-SPPB - the higher score better performance
BALANCE Functional reach	8 weeks	Beam walking (4, 8, 12 cm 3 trials each, summed distance score) The longer the journey is, the better the performance
Cognitive function	8 weeks	\- MMSE (questionnaire…) the higher score better performance
