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