Brief summary
to evaluate the efficacy of virtual reality combined with plyometric workout on abdominal obesity in adolescent females
Detailed description
A total sample size of 100 adolescent females will be assigned to the study and will be divided randomly into two study groups, Study Group A and Study Group B, with 50 subjects in each group. Before the start of the protocol (first session) specific parameters will be taken from all assigned adolescent females in the two groups like waist circumference, waist-hip ratio, Body Mass Index, and some pulmonary function tests in the form of inspiratory reserve volume, Expiratory reserve volume, tidal volume, Inspiratory capacity, and vital capacity. Then, study group A underwent an immersive virtual reality technique in addition to plyometric exercise. Study group B was assigned to a treadmill aerobic workout for 10 minutes in addition to plyometric exercises. All mentioned parameters will be measured again after three months of the treatment program

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| waist circumference in centimeter | 12 weeks | An objective outcome measure, measured by a tap measurement before and after treatment protocol |
| waist-hip ratio in centimeter | 12 weeks | objective measure objective outcome measure, measured by a tap measurement before and after treatment protocol |
| Body mass index (BMI) in kg/m² | 12 weeks | objective outcome measure, s calculated by dividing an individual's weight in kilograms by the square of their height in meters. For children and adolescents, BMI values are categorized to assess weight status (underweight, healthy weight, overweight, obese |
| pulmonary function tests by using electronic spirometry | 12 weeks | An objective outcome measure like Forced Expiratory Volume in one second. It's a key measurement in spirometry tests, helping to assess lung function and diagnose conditions like asthma |
