“…For example, virtual swimming in the air does not replicate the physical fidelity connected with moving water. A previous systematic review also showed that virtual reality applications have the ability to change behavior but have little gain in knowledge (Omaki et al, 2016). While cognitive functions are crucial for the functional autonomy, Monteiro-Junior et al (2016) showed that a single bout of virtual real-ity training does not have any effect on cognitive function in older adults.…”

Sports active video games (exergames) are accessible forms of physical activity which might also be used in physical education (PE) curriculum. The purpose of this chapter is to review some of the relevant applications of sports exergames for inclusion in PE and to characterize one of these games (swimming) from different aspects of biomechanics, physiology, and psychology. The authors compared movement patterns, muscle activation, energy expenditure, enjoyment, usability, and game experience in participants with different performing levels (real-swimmers vs. non-swimmers, experienced vs. novice) and gender. Understanding these parameters may help in the development of more realistic sports exergames and meaningful gameplay and may give PE teachers a better idea of the inclusion of such games in their practice.

“…Recent studies suggest that technology-based interventions can reinforce the effectiveness of injury prevention, and improve parents’ knowledge of child safety [16-18]. A systematic review of technology-based interventions for unintentional injury prevention highlighted 10 parenting interventions for child safety; all interventions were demonstrated to improve parents’ injury prevention behaviors [19]. For instance, a study by Van Beelen et al revealed that a Web-based intervention increased parents’ behavior toward child safety more than a standard leaflet related to scheduled childcare counseling [20].…”

“…For instance, a study by Van Beelen et al revealed that a Web-based intervention increased parents’ behavior toward child safety more than a standard leaflet related to scheduled childcare counseling [20]. Only two interventions evaluated changes in safety knowledge, and both showed positive changes [19]. A study by Gielen et al reported that an online intervention had a positive effect on enhancing safety knowledge [21].…”

BackgroundProvision of anticipatory guidance for parents is recommended as an effective strategy to prevent injuries among young children. Technology-based anticipatory guidance has been suggested to reinforce the effectiveness of injury prevention and improve parents’ knowledge of child safety.ObjectiveThis study aims to examine the effectiveness of a technology-based injury prevention program with parental anticipatory guidance for enhancing mothers’ knowledge of child safety.MethodsIn this randomized controlled trial, 308 mothers will be recruited from the antenatal clinics and postnatal wards of two major public hospitals in Hong Kong. Participating mothers will be randomly assigned into intervention and control groups. Mothers in the intervention group will be given free access to a technology-based injury prevention program with anticipatory guidance, whereas mothers in the control group will be given a relevant booklet on parenting. The injury prevention program, available as a website or on a mobile app, includes behavioral components based on the Theory of Planned Behavior. The primary outcome measure will be the change in the mother’s knowledge of child safety. The secondary outcome measures will be age-appropriate domestic safety knowledge, attitudes, intentions, perceived behavioral control, and self-reported behavior related to home safety practice. We will also determine dose-response relationships between the outcome measures and the website and mobile app usage.ResultsEnrolment of participants will begin in October 2016. Results are expected by June 2018.ConclusionsParents will be able to easily access the domestic injury prevention website to find information regarding child injury prevention. It is anticipated that the technology-based intervention will help parents improve their knowledge of child safety and raise their awareness about the consequences of domestic injuries and the importance of prevention.Trial RegistrationClinicaltrials.govClinicaltrials.gov NCT02835768; http://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT02835768 (Archived by WebCite at http://www.webcitation/6lbXYM6b9)

“…Tailored injury prevention programmes have been shown to be effective at increasing the adoption of parental safety practices (A C Gielen et al ; Andrea Carlson Gielen et al ; Omaki et al ). For example, Safe N' Sound (SNS) delivers tailored information to parents of children ages 0–4 about specific unintentional injury prevention practices indicated by a self‐assessment and has been shown to be efficacious in improving parental safety behaviours (Nansel et al ; Weaver et al ; Brixey et al ).…”
