| Abstract | Introduction: Obesity is a major public health problem in many countries and trends to increase continuously. Moreover, it involves on respiratory muscle. Nintendo Wii is a specific exercise with enhancing motivation. However, there is no evidence of this exercise on the respiratory muscle strength. Objective: To study the effect of Nintendo Wii exercise on respiratory muscle strength in obese females. Materials and methods: Forty female subjects aged of 18-25 years old participated in the study. Peak inspiratory maximal pressure (PImax) and peak expiratory maximal pressure (PEmax) were evaluated at before and after exercise for 6 weeks (3 times per week). Results: PImax and PEmax were increased significantly after exercise with Nintendo Wii compared with those before exercise (p=0.003).Conclusions: The result suggests that exercise with dance game of Nintendo Wii for 6 weeks can improve strength of respiratory muscles in women with obesity. |
