“…The opponent's gender may have altered the typical way a participant played multiplayer on the XBOX if s/he felt uncomfortable or a different level of challenge based on gender. 6 However, Miller et al similarly found no sex difference but did find an age difference for exergame energy expenditure. The tight age range and uneven distribution of males and females may have contributed to the lack of findings in the current study.…”

“…These findings are consistent with previous literature regarding player modes. 6 As previously noted, the prior study included adults, not youth. The current study extends the findings of energy expenditure differences by player mode to youth, since this is the first study to examine player mode in children and adolescents.…”

“…5 Energy expended from the player could not only be dependent on his/her effort, but it could also be dependent upon type of movement incorporated in the game, different difficulty levels within the game, and most significantly whether the game is being played in multiplayer or single-player mode. 6 Although one previous study compared energy expended during single-vs. multiplayer mode, 6 the population included in the sample was adults. Thus, it remains unknown if energy expenditure is different in single-vs. multiplayer mode in children and adolescents.…”

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.

HCI often requires scholars to build upon research from fields outside their expertise, creating the risk that foundational work is misunderstood and misrepresented. The prevailing goal of "exergames" research towards ameliorating obesity appears to be built on just such a misunderstanding of health research. In this paper, we analyse all citations to a single influential study, which has been extensively cited to justify research on exergames. We categorise the 375 citations based on whether they represent the findings of that study accurately or inaccurately. Our findings suggest that 69% of exergames papers citing this study misrepresent the findings, demonstrating a systematic failure of scholarship in exergames research. We argue that exergaming research should cease focusing on games as treatment for obesity, and that HCI publications should demand more critical and scholarly engagement with research from outside HCI.

“…Além disso, possibilitam maior motivação e prazer durante a partida 5 . Sendo assim, de todos os estudos descobriu-se que por meio dos consoles Nintendo Wii, Playstation (Eye toy), Xbox-Kinect e XaviX, denominados EXGs, existem vários jogos utilizados como Exergames, dos quais os mais mencionados foram Wii Boxing, Kinect Sports Boxing, Knockout e EA Sports Active Boxing, todos da modalidade Boxe 6,7,[17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24] , que possuem ênfase em movimentação corporal nos membros superiores, aparecendo aproximadamente em 63% do total dos jogos estudados.…”

ResumoA atividade física é um fator importante na prevenção e tratamento da obesidade, doenças cardiovasculares e outras morbidades. Segundo o American College of Sports Medicine, adultos jovens devem realizar 30 minutos de atividade física moderada-vigorosa com intensidade 50 e 69% da frequência cardíaca máxima em no mínimo 5 dias na semana. Neste sentido, os Exergames (EXGs) surgem como uma prática com maior movimentação corporal elevando os níveis de atividade física diária. O objetivo da presente revisão foi identificar estudos que analisaram a influência dos EXGs nas variáveis relacionadas ao condicionamento físico e nível de atividade física. Foi realizada uma pesquisa nas bases de dados BIREME, PUBMED, SCIENCE DIRECT e WEB OF KNOWLEDGE, utilizando os termos e descritores: exergames, active video games, active gaming e video games. Os estudos para análise deveriam conter a mensuração das seguintes variáveis: frequência cardíaca (FC), gasto energético (GE) ou consumo de oxigênio (VO 2 ). Foram selecionados 19 estudos. Destes EXGs o mais utilizado foi o Boxe (63% dos estudos). Foram observadas elevações significativas nas variáveis hemodinâmicas proporcionando intensidade de leve a vigorosa. Os EXGs do console Xbox 360º com Kinect® promovem maior gasto energético e consumo de oxigênio em relação a outros consoles, tais como o Nintendo Wii®. Conclui-se que os EXGs podem ser uma alternativa de aumento do nível de atividade física, porém, são necessários outros estudos de ordem longitudinal para a devida caracterização enquanto exercício físico para gerar adaptações ao sistema cardiovascular.
