“…Previous studies have reported that a single AVG session induces a significant increase in HR, SBP, DBP, and hence in DP [1,2,4,5,23]. However, the PEH phenomenon in relation to AVG remains unclear.…”

“…on the other hand, active video games (AVG), in which the players have to remain physically active to succeed during matches, help to improve fitness levels and to develop motivation for physical activity [1,2]. Several studies with AVG have been carried out in order to verify the improvement of energy expenditure, aerobic capacity, and body composition [2][3][4]. AVG turn out a practical and attractive way to change sedentary behaviours in different populations [2].…”

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 4 active video games (Kinect Adventures Reflex Ridge, Just Dance 3, Wipeout, and Kinect Sports Boxing) were chosen because they had produced at least moderate-level physical activity in prior literature. 5,8 The 2 games chosen, the order in which the games were played, and the order in which the participants played single-or multiplayer were randomly decided. If the player completed a level within the 15-minute period s/he was instructed to begin the next most basic level.…”

Background: Replacing sedentary time with physical activity through new generation exergames (eg, XBOX Kinect) is a potential intervention strategy. The study's purpose was to compare youth energy expenditure while playing different exergames in single-vs. multiplayer mode. Methods: Participants (26 male, 14 female) were 10 to 13 years old. They wore a portable metabolic analyzer while playing 4 XBOX Kinect games for 15 minutes each (2 single-, 2 multiplayer). Repeated-measures ANOVA (with Bonferroni correction) was used to examine player mode differences, controlling for age group, sex, weight status, and game. Results: There was a significant difference in energy expenditure between single player (mean = 15.4 ml/ kg/min, SD = 4.5) and multiplayer mode (mean = 16.8 ml/kg/min, SD = 4.7). Overweight and obese participants (mean = 13.7 ml/kg/min, SD = 4.2) expended less energy than normal weight (mean = 17.8 ml/kg/min, SD = 4.5) during multiplayer mode (d = 0.93). Conclusion: Player mode, along with personal factors such as weight status, may be important to consider in energy expenditure during exergames.

“…Research showed that AVGs can significantly increase energy expenditure (EE) and physical activity compared to sedentary video games (Graves, et al, 2010), proving to be a suitable alternative to traditional play or moderate-intensity physical activity in teen (Clevenger & Howe, 2015) and young men (Barry, et al, 2016). Considering the popularity of Zumba ® Classes (ZC) among fitness activities (Thompson, 2011(Thompson, , 2012 (Barry, et al, 2016;Graves, et al, 2010), researchers (Ainsworth, et al, 2011;Barry, et al, 2016;Graves, et al, 2010) (ACSM, 2014).…”

Abstract:Active video games (AVG) increase energy expenditure (EE) with respect to sedentary video games. Although several AVG consoles allow playing in single-player (SP) or multiplayer (MP) mode, few studies investigated differences in relation to game modality in men and women. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate gender-related psycho-physiological responses during Zumba Fitness Rush (ZFR) played in SP vs. MP mode. Twenty-four college students (women: 14, men: 10; age: 24.6±2.0 years; body weight: 60.2±12.5 kg; body height: 167.8±11.5 cm; BMI: 21.2±2.1 kg·m -2 ) participated in two experimental sessions: SP (a subject playing ZFR alone) and MP (two subjects playing ZFR simultaneously). Heart rate (HR), oxygen consumption (VO 2 ) and EE (MET and kcal•min ). Present findings suggest that ZFR could be classified as a moderate physical activity, proving to be an alternative form to traditional exercise. Although an effect of number of players could be expected, different player modes did not affect EE, probably because the rhythm of the music imposes a time constraint, independently of the presence of other players.

Energy Cost and Enjoyment of Active Videogames in Children and Teens: Xbox 360 Kinect

Abstract: AVGs elicited sufficient energy cost to be a suitable alternative for traditional play and may contribute to the recommended dose of physical activity, particularly in teens, males, and overweight youth.
