John Moore's University - Wii experiment?

Does anyone know where I can find the results of this experiment?

Have any experiments been conducted that are simlar to this one?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks :o)

Chris

Update:

It was the experiment to see if using the Wii could help people lose weight. Sorry if it was unclear.

    "The Liverpool John Moores University found out that playing active games with the [tag]WiiRemote[/tag] and [tag]Nunchuk[/tag] can make you 27 pounds per year thinner. They kept an eye on the calories burned, the heart rate and energy expenditure of five girls and seven boys from 13-15 years old. Playing 15 minutes with the traditional controller made the energy expenditure increase by 60 percent, with the [tag]WiiRemote[/tag] the result was 156 percent! Their hear beats were also faster when using the [tag]Wii[/tag] reaching per minute up to 130 beats, while in traditional games this is only 85 bpm."

    Hope this helps. :)
