Summary:
The aim of this study will be to compare the effects of Xbox Kinect Sports (XKS) with respect to Nintendo Switch Sports (NSS) and the inactive control group (CG) on body composition (percent body fat and fat-free mass) and physical performance (hand grip strength, HGS; 30 seconds standing in a chair, timed get up and walk, TUG; sit and reach and 2-minute step test) in physically inactive older women. This study will be randomized controlled trial with three parallel groups: XKS (n= 13), NSS (n= 14) and CG (n= 16).

Primary Outcome Measures: Change from Fat-free mass at 12 weeks, This variable is obtained by body composition (bioimpedance), using eight-electrode tetrapolar bioimpedance (InBody 570®, Body Composition Analyzers, South Korea). For each measurement, the guidelines of the International Society for Advances in Kinanthropometry will be followed (Marfell-Jones et al., 2012)., 2 weeks|Change from Body fat percentage at 12 weeks, This variable will be obtained by body composition (bioimpedance), using eight-electrode tetrapolar bioimpedance (InBody 570®, Body Composition Analyzers, South Korea). For each measurement, the guidelines of the International Society for Advances in Kinanthropometry will be followed (Marfell-Jones et al., 2012)., 2 weeks|Change from Maximal isometric handgrip strength at 12 weeks, Previous recommendations indicate that maximal isometric handgrip strength (Lupton-Smith et al., 2022), was employed. The best position for testing was found to be sedentary, with the wrist and forearm in a neutral position, the elbow flexed at a 90-degree angle to the side of the body, the spine aligned, and the shoulder in a neutral position. A portable dynamometer (Jamar®, PLUS+, Sammons Preston, Patterson Medical, Warrenville, IL, USA) was used for testing. The dynamometer was placed in the first position, which promotes contact between the first phalanx of the thumb and index finger, to allow a firm grip on the device while preserving proper closure of the metacarpal, palatine, and interphalangeal joints based on hand size. Each participant performed three attempts with each hand after a 120-second rest., 2 weeks|Change from 30-second chair stand test at 12 weeks, The 30-second chair stand test (Bruun et al., 2019), which measures the number of repetitions performed standing and sitting in a chair with arms resting on the chest for 30 seconds, will be used to assess lower limb muscle strength and the ability to perform activities of daily living (Jones et al., 1999). The best of the three efforts will be taken into account for the analysis after three attempts, with a recovery of 120 seconds between them., 2 weeks|Change from Timed up-and-go test at 12 weeks, The tiemd up-and- go test will be performed according to previous recommendations (Christopher et al., 2021). The individual will be asked to get out of a chair with arm rests, walk down a 3-meter hallway, turn around, and return to the chair. The timed up-and-go is a measure of functional mobility and dynamic balance (Podsiadlo \& Richardson, 1991). They are asked to perform three trials and quickly record the best one. Using single-beam photocells (Brower Timing System, Draper, UT, USA), two evaluators will record the time; a statistical analysis of the three best trials will be performed., 2 weeks|Change from Sit-and-reach test at 12 weeks, Using the sit-and-reach test, flexibility was assessed (Rikli \& Jones, 2013). Subjects sat forward in a chair with a fixed back, one leg bent on the floor and the other left leg straight. Either the left or right leg could be used for comfortable running; however, the post-test measured the same leg as the pre-test. After correcting one position once again, the other bent leg case was assessed for flexibility by running two trials using the highest number to determine the outcome (Lemmink et al., 2003)., 2 weeks|Change from 2-minute step test at 12 weeks, Cardiorespiratory fitness was measured using the 2-minute step test (Rikli \& Jones, 2013). Participants were asked to stand up straight and the average distance between the kneecap and the pelvic bones was marked on a wall with colored tape. Participants performed steps so that their knees were raised above the marked point and the number of repetitions in 2 minutes was recorded (Rikli \& Jones, 2013)., 2 weeks
