“…However, the magnitude of blood pressure response was significantly lower in the PLAY setting compared with AVG or tV after sessions. In a similar population to that in our study, female university students performed a 6-week training (30-60 minutes of Just Dance 4 game sessions) and, unlike our participants, reduced resting blood pressure [14]. Likewise, Warburton et al [13] identified a reduction in resting SBP of approximately 9 mm Hg among college boys who underwent a 30-minute AVG session (Cyclebike) for 6 weeks.…”

“…In fact, resting HR presented significant reduction after our intervention; hence, the decrease of DP, also observed after the intervention, was dependent on the HR changes. other studies also investigated the influence of AVG modalities on cardiovascular fitness by identifying a resting HR reduction [12][13][14].…”

“…In a pre/post-intervention study, Serber et al [12] observed a reduction in peak HR and resting SBP among middle-aged pre-hypertensive individuals. In turn, Warburton et al [13], in a 6-week AVG training with 30-minute sessions, and Roopchand-Martin et al [14], in a 6-week AVG training with 30-60-minute sessions, observed a significant improvement in HR and resting blood pressure in university students.…”

Purpose. Active video games (AVG) provide an attractive alternative to sedentary behaviours and may bring some health benefits. However, single-session and chronic cardiovascular effects of AVG remain unclear. the aim of this study was to verify the impact of single-session and 4-week virtual functional training on cardiovascular responses in normotensive adults. Methods. In a pre-experimental study, 8 university students performed a 30-minute AVG session (Nike Kinect training® game) at the intensity of 64% (based on heart rate [HR]) and twice a week for 4 weeks (8 sessions). HR and systolic (SBP) and diastolic (DBP) blood pressure were measured immediately and at 10, 20, and 30 minutes after each session. A generalized estimating equation model and t-test were used to examine changes in cardiovascular responses over time (p < 0.05). Effect size was calculated by Cohen's d. Results. A single session did not promote post-exercise hypotension (PEH). However, SBP (6.6-9.0 mm Hg) and DBP (4.5-5.5 mm Hg) decreased in 3/8 and 2/8 sessions, respectively. In pre/post-intervention comparisons at rest, small to large reduction effects were found for SBP (-3.0 mm Hg, d = 0.3), DBP (-4.7 mm Hg, d = 0.6), HR (-9 bpm, d = 0.8), and double product (-1389.3 mm Hg × bpm, d = 1.6). Conclusions. Virtual functional training reduced cardiac workload (chronic effect) and promoted PEH in some sessions among normotensive adults. these findings have practical applications for improving physical activity with attractive exercise forms, which should be recommended for healthy people.

“…The more precise a player is at replicating the dance moves the higher their scores. Unlike conventional dance training, the XBOX Kinect provides both intrinsic (visual, auditory, vestibular, somatosensory) and extrinsic (scores that rank performance, and indicators of accuracy of movement) feedback, which is ideal for motor learning (Roopchand-Martin, Nelson, Gordon, & Yee Sing, 2015). Research has shown that this type of training is acceptable to young persons and athletes (Adachai & Willoughby, 2014;Roopchand-Martin, Mason, & Gibson, 2016).…”

Whilst it is suggested that exercise is integral in the management of Parkinson’s, there is minimal literature exploring this population’s perceptions about exercise, and how these perceptions relate to standardised physical outcome measures. This mixed method study explored participants’ views on an exercise programme which was offered as part of an intervention in a randomised controlled trial for people with Parkinson’s. Participants in the intervention group (n = 21) received an exercise programme and a cognitive enrichment programme while the control group (n = 20) continued with usual care. Semi-structured, face to face, audio-recorded individual or group interviews were undertaken with the intervention group and data analysed thematically. Quantitative data extracted from the clinical trial included the 6 Minute Walk Test and the mini-Balance Evaluation Systems Test (mini-BESTest). The themes: ‘Having trust in professional guidance’, and ‘An understanding and supportive environment’ contributed to the overarching theme of ‘A sense of individual empowerment’. Together the themes demonstrated meaningful holistic benefits gained by participants, which differed from the non-statistically significant quantitative results from the clinical trial. Small group tailored exercise effectively addressed multiple cornerstones of health in people with Parkinson’s, creating an overall sense of individual empowerment. This study also suggests that research may overemphasise reporting of standardised physical outcomes to the detriment of what participants perceive as meaningful outcomes.

“…48 Self-efficacy was enhanced by showing an image of the player on the screen among those who had a positive self-image, but not among those who were dissatisfied with their self-image. 49 The technology of exergaming is rapidly advancing (e.g., Kinect) 50 augmented reality games, 51 Zombies Run (www .zombiesrungame.com), and smart watches with virtual sensor networks, 52 which can be linked to enhance exergaming. These technological advances offer exciting new opportunities for engaging children in exergaming.…”
