“…Esse estudo se mostra válido ao proporcionar a alunos desmotivados uma alternativa de envolvimento com a atividade física. No mesmo sentido, Sun (2012) sugere que os professores utilizem os exergames de maneira intercalada com as atividades reais, ou seja, para ele JDs devem ser utilizados para introduzir ou iniciar a vivência de alguma modalidade ou exercício, que posteriormente seria abordado no ambiente natural da modalidade. Esse tipo de abordagem pode proporcionar diferentes experiências motoras aos alunos, possibilitando maior aderência ao conteúdo.…”

Resumo: O objetivo deste estudo foi analisar a produção acadêmica sobre a utilização dos exergames nas aulas de Educação Física Escolar. Utilizou-se uma revisão sistemática qualitativa para a obtenção dos artigos selecionados. Foram encontrados treze trabalhos indexados nas bases de dados Medline, Lilacs, Scielo e DOAJ. Constatouse que os exergames são uma alternativa viável para o campo educacional e podem auxiliar no processo de ensino-aprendizagem. Além disso, quando aliados a atividades em ambiente real podem motivar os alunos e aumentar o nível de atividade física. Entretanto, observamos limitações metodológicas que comprometem a validade dos achados apresentados. Reforçamos a necessidade de mais pesquisas que busquem avaliar criticamente as potencialidades pedagógicas de tais equipamentos na Educação Física Escolar. Abstract:The aim of this study was to analyze academic literature on the use of exergames in school Physical Education classes. A qualitative systematic review was conducted to obtain the selected articles. Thirteen papers were found indexed in the databases Medline, Lilacs, Scielo and DOAJ. Exergames were found to be are a viable alternative for the educational field. They can assist in teaching and learning processes. Moreover, when combined with activities in actual environments, they can motivate students and increase their level of physical activity. However, we found methodological limitations that compromise the validity of the findings. We emphasize the need for more research that seeks to critically assess the pedagogical potential of such equipment in Physical Education.Resumen: El objetivo de este estudio fue analizar la literatura académica sobre la utilización de los exergames en las clases de Educación Física escolar.

“…However, Sun [32] claims that incorporating exergames into PE may not produce health benefits, as some commercial exergames may not provide appropriate levels of physical activity. Beyond applying commercially available games in schools, researchers have introduced exergames using mobile phones to help students at school to fight sedentary lifestyles [18,25,37], and the PlayFit project aims to persuade teenagers through playful interventions and ambient interaction based on four design principles [].…”

There are risks to too much sedentary behaviour, regardless of a person's level of physical activity, particularly for children. As exercise habits instilled during childhood are strong predictors of healthy lifestyles later in life, it is important that schools break up long sedentary periods with short periods of physical activity. Casual exergames are an appealing option for schools who wish to engage adolescents, and have been shown to provide exertion levels at recommended values, even when played for only 10 minutes. In this paper we describe a preliminary survey with teachers of a local school that informed the deployment of a casual exergame with a group of preadolescent students from the same school. We show that students preferred the game to traditional exercise, that the game was able to generate appropriate levels of exertion in pre-adolescents, and that students have a sophisticated understanding of the role of exercise in their lives. Overall, we establish the feasibility of casual exergames for combating sedentary behavior in preteen classrooms.

Introduction/AimsThe utilization of virtual reality (VR) and biofeedback training, while effective in diverse populations, remains limited in the treatment of Duchenne and Becker muscular dystrophies (D/BMD). This study aimed to determine the feasibility of VR in children with D/BMD and compare the effectiveness of VR and biofeedback in children with D/BMD.MethodsThe study included 25 children with D/BMD. Eight children in the control group participated in a routine follow‐up rehabilitation program, while the remaining children were randomly assigned to the VR (n = 9) and biofeedback (n = 8) groups for a 12‐week intervention. The following evaluations were performed before, during (week 6), and after treatment: Muscle pain and cramps, laboratory studies, muscle strength, timed performance, function (Motor Function Measurement Scale‐32, Vignos, and Brooke Scales), and balance (Pediatric Functional Reach Test and Balance Master System). Motivation for rehabilitation was determined.ResultsThe median ages were 9.00 (VR), 8.75 (biofeedback), and 7.00 (control) years. The study found no significant differences between groups in pretreatment assessments for most measures, except for tandem step width (p < .05). VR and biofeedback interventions significantly improved various aspects (pain intensity, cramp frequency, cramp severity, muscle strength, timed performance, functional level, and balance) in children with D/BMD (p < .05), while the conventional rehabilitation program maintained patients' current status without any changes. The study found VR and biofeedback equally effective, with VR maintaining children's motivation for rehabilitation longer (p < .05).DiscussionThe study showed that both VR and biofeedback appear to be effective for rehabilitation this population, but additional, larger studies are needed.
