“…18 Facilitators of exergames (ie, social support, competition, music, experience, new consoles, multiple player modes, contact with players in separate rooms, contact via Internet) hold promise in sustaining exergaming. 34,38,39,42 Replication of these results is warranted to determine if exergaming is a promising PA alternative for girls, as well as to investigate other potential correlates of exergaming.…”

“…29 The primary purpose of extant exergaming studies has been to describe energy expended during exergaming. 12, 16,17,23,24,26,[30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37] Several studies also examine maintenance of exergaming over time, [38][39][40][41][42] and at least 3 small 43 and 1 large trial 44 evaluate exergaming as a method to increase PA in youth. Two of the 3 small trials indicated modest improvements in PA, and the large longer trial suggested that exergaming leads to small but statistically significant decreases in BMI as well as improvements in body composition in overweight children.…”

WHAT'S KNOWN ON THIS SUBJECT: Exergaming offers a physical activity (PA) alternative for youth that may be attractive in our increasingly technophilic society. Exergaming increases PA and decreases sedentary time, but most exergame studies are clinically based and focus on measuring energy expenditure during exergaming. WHAT THIS STUDY ADDS:One-quarter of adolescents exergamed at intensity levels that could help them achieve PA recommendations. Exergamers were more likely to be female, play nonactive video games, watch $2 hours of television per day, be stressed about weight, and be nonsmokers. abstract OBJECTIVES: Less than 15% of children and adolescents participate regularly in physical activity (PA) and, with ever-increasing obesity, strategies to improve PA levels in youth are urgently needed. Exergaming offers a PA alternative that may be especially attractive in our increasingly technophilic society. However, there are no observational studies of exergaming in population-based samples of adolescents. The purpose of this study was to investigate potential sociodemographic, lifestyle, psychosocial, weight-related, and mental health correlates of exergaming as well as describe the type, timing, and intensity of exergaming in a population-based sample of adolescents. METHODS:Data on exergame use and potential sociodemographic, lifestyle, psychosocial, weight-related, and mental health correlates of exergaming were collected in mailed self-report questionnaires completed by 1241 grade 10 and 11 students from the Montreal area with a mean age of 16.8 years (SD = 0.05 years; 43% male) participating in the AdoQuest study. The independent correlates of exergaming were identified in multivariable logistic regression models. RESULTS:Nearly one-quarter (24%) of participants reported exergaming. Exergamers played 2 days per week on average, for ∼50 minutes each bout; 73% of exergamers played at a moderate or vigorous intensity. Exergamers were more likely than nonexergamers to be girls, to play nonactive video games, to watch $2 hours of television per day, to be stressed about weight, and to be nonsmokers. CONCLUSIONS:Many adolescents exergame at intensity levels that could help them achieve current moderate-to-vigorous PA recommendations. Interventions that encourage exergaming may increase PA and decrease sedentary behavior in select youth subgroups, notably in girls.

“…Greater playing experience allowed these participants to work at higher intensities, thereby promoting greater EE. For example, an experienced player with a mass of 68 kg would expend, on average, an additional 102 kCal per 30-minute session compared with an inexperienced player of the same mass [23]. Norlin et al reported an increase in HR maximum percent, VO 2 maximum percent, and RPE with increasing difficulty in gameplay mode [24].…”

Abstract-Commercial activity-promoting gaming systems provide a potentially attractive means to facilitate exercise and rehabilitation. The Nintendo Wii, Sony EyeToy, Dance Dance Revolution, and Xbox Kinect are examples of gaming systems that use the movement of the player to control gameplay. Activity-promoting gaming systems can be used as a tool to increase activity levels in otherwise sedentary gamers and also be an effective tool to aid rehabilitation in clinical settings. Therefore, the aim of this current work is to review the growing area of activity-promoting gaming in the context of exercise, injury, and rehabilitation.
