All values are means ± SDs. Differences were tested by using nonparametric ANCOVA adjusted for sex and pairwise comparisons with Bonferroni adjustment as necessary. Significant differences between sexes are shown for all variables, P < 0.01 *Significantly less than for motion-controlled video games, P < 0.05.
