“…Many previous studies have shown that the most common exergames elicit a physical exercise intensity corresponding from light to moderate [29][30][31][32][33] . For example, Viana et al ( 2018) 29 investigated the responses of heart rate and oxygen uptake during an exergame session.…”

“…Notably, these authors investigated an exergame that involved callisthenic physical exercise, which is a traditional mode of physical exercise performed by physical exercise practitioners and prescribed by coaches. Viana et al (2017) 32 and Morais et al (2021) 34 investigated the acute effects of the exergame Zumba Fitness on anxiety in women. The authors found that this exergame had an anxiolytic effect and attributed this effect to the moderate intensity of physical exercise evoked by the exergame session.…”

“…Indeed, the main advantage of exergames compared with traditional forms of physical exercise is that exergames are considered more enjoyable 30 , 33 . In practical terms, this finding is relevant because more than a quarter of all adults around the world are physically inactive 36 , and one of the barriers to becoming physically inactive pointed out by people is “finding physical activity unattractive.” Therefore, exergames present the potential to attract inactive people to a physical exercise program.…”

During the COVID-19 pandemic, factors related to the isolation and quarantine period increased psychobiological distress in the general population around the world, increasing anxiety, emotional stress, and depression, as well as worsening of the quality of sleep. Seeking alternatives to provide support for the implementation of some interventions for well-being and health under pandemic conditions, exergames (active video games) seem to be a feasible alternative to keep people physically active and to positively impact sleep health. In this overview article, we discussed the feasibility of exergames as an option to cope with sleep disorders and improve sleep quality during the COVID-19 outbreak through increasing physical exercise and physical fitness levels.

“…Previous studies showed that exergames can be a useful tool to improve anxiety levels 25 30 and balance in older people 32 , can be a feasible tool for neurological patients 33 and fibromyalgia patients 34 . Previous studies investigated the effects of exergames on physiological variables, such as heart rate, oxygen uptake and caloric expenditure 24 26 35 and reported similar responses to traditional exercise modes.…”

“…The exergames allow to perform physical activity while playing a game. Traditionally, exergames are characterized by exercises that simulate traditional continuous exercises of moderate intensity (for example, walking, running, cycling and calisthenics exercises) [22][23][24], sports (for example, basketball, bowling, yoga, tennis, table tennis, baseball, swimming, ping-pong, boxing and beach volleyball) [22,23,[25][26][27][28], dance [25,29,30] and resistance exercise [31].…”

Low sleep quality is associated with many health problems. Although physical exercise is a nonpharmacological tool that positively impacts sleep quality, there are many barriers (lack of energy, lack of motivation, lack of skills, lack of resources, and fear of injury) for people to adopt an active lifestyle. Exergames are an alternative way of physical exercise that are funnier and more attractive than traditional forms of physical exercise and, therefore, has the potential to increase adherence to a physical exercise program. Given that previous studies showed that exergames presents similar physiological and psychological outcomes to traditional forms of exercise, we aimed to discuss in this narrative review potentials applications, limitations and perspectives of using exergames to improve sleep quality.

Purpose This study compared the acute effects of an exergame-based calisthenics (EXG) session versus a traditional calisthenics (TC) session on state anxiety levels in healthy adult men, and compared the mean heart rate, number of repetitions performed, enjoyment, and affective valence reported by the participants between sessions. Methods Thirty-six young adult men performed two 30-min sessions of physical exercise in random order (EXG and TC). The same exercise protocol was used for each session; however, the TC session was guided by an exercise science professional. State anxiety was assessed before and immediately after each session. Heart rate was monitored during the sessions. Enjoyment and affective valence were assessed immediately after the sessions. In addition, the number of repetitions performed was recorded. Results There was no significant interaction between sessions (EXG vs. TC) and time (pre vs. post-session) ( p = 0.102), no significant effect of session ( p = 0.587), and no significant effect of time ( p = 0.121). Participants presented a higher mean heart rate (+ 3.5%, p = 0.020) and number of repetitions performed (+ 43.7%, p < 0.001) in the TC session compared with the EXG session. There was no difference in enjoyment ( p = 0.804) and affective ( p = 0.195) valence between the EXG and TC sessions. Conclusion The EXG and TC sessions did not reduce state anxiety levels. Nor did they increase enjoyment or affective valence in healthy young adult men. However, the TC session evoked a higher mean heart rate and higher training volume than the EXG session.
