Childhood obesity has been increasing for more than three decades and is a serious health concern. Schools have come to the forefront in combating the disease by providing healthier food and beverages during the school day, while improving the effectiveness of health and physical education classes as well. The literature states that the traditional physical education classroom has appealed mostly to the more athletic males who enjoy team sport activities. As a result, alternative approaches to teaching physical education have been explored in schools across the country.

520 $a Childhood obesity has been increasing for more than three decades and is a serious health concern. Schools have come to the forefront in combating the disease by providing healthier food and beverages during the school day, while improving the effectiveness of health and physical education classes as well. The literature states that the traditional physical education classroom has appealed mostly to the more athletic males who enjoy team sport activities. As a result, alternative approaches to teaching physical education have been explored in schools across the country.
520 $a This quasi-experimental study examined the effects of a virtual fitness training system, which provided music and video entertainment to students while they participated in physical education. A control group (n =60) that involved 8th grade students that participated in a traditional style of physical education class was compared to an experimental group (n=60) that used a commercial virtual fitness training system on a weekly basis during a 15 week school semester.
520 $a Students were evaluated on the following outcome variables which were assessed prior to the study beginning and after 15 weeks of physical education. The outcome variables included how much time students spent in a target heart rate zone of 130--160 bpm, as well as body mass index (BMI), and fitness levels (as measured by the 20-meter PACER fitness test). These measures were analyzed to determine any significant differences between the control and pilot groups. Additionally, both groups were administered a pre and post 25 item survey to evaluate differences in attitude toward physical education before and after the semester. A comparison of the percentage of time students spent in a target heart rate zone and changes in student attitudes toward physical education by gender were also explored.
520 $a There were no significant differences in the percentage of time students spent in the target heart rate zone, or changes in BMI or fitness levels. There were also no significant differences in a change in attitudes toward physical education between the control and pilot groups. There were significant differences in the pre and post responses to survey items between genders, but not between gender and program. There were also no differences in the percentage of time males and females spent in the target heart rate zone. Finally, there was no evidence to suggest the virtual fitness trainer had any significant effect on any of the outcome measures.
