This prevalence draws the attention of researchers to engage new technology and virtual reality as a new tool to help in solving children obesity and increasing their activity instead of sedentary life style that help increase this problem. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to use virtual reality as a new treatment tool for children obesity Methods: Eighty over weighted and obese children of both sexes were selected and their ages ranged from 15 to 18 years from both sexes BMI were 85% to 95% percentile and their body composition were measured by Bioelectrical Impedence (BIA) (inbody 120) from Nutrition Clinics to participate in this study: 40 children have been treated with diet and virtual reality (study group), and 40 children have been treated with diet only (control group) for four months Findings: T-test Comparison between groups post treatment revealed a significant decrease of weight, Body Mass Index (BMI), Percent of Body Fat (PBF), Waist Hip Ratio (WHR), Obesity Degree and Visceral Fat of study group compared with that of control group (p {u02C2} 0.05) and a significant increase in Skeletal Muscle Mass (SMM), Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) and Inbody Score of study group compared with that of control group (p {u02C2} 0.05). Conclusion: According to the previous findings, it can be concluded that there was improvement on body composition, BMI, visceral fat, WHR, BMR and obesity degree of obese children and may be used for treatment of children obesity
