“…Furthermore, a wide variety of AVG systems and games are currently on the market. Energy expenditure, enjoyment, and other characteristics relevant for continued long-term usage vary between games and systems, [42][43][44] which suggests that results from a study utilizing Xbox Ò KinectsÔ may not generalize to other systems or games. Although low and high autonomy groups showed different patterns of Pmax AVG when playing for AVG versus SVG, these discrepancies may have been largely driven by baseline differences across groups (Table 3).…”

Background: Exercise reinforcement predicts physical activity of children. Repeated exposures of physical activity may increase physical activity reinforcement (incentive sensitization). Active videogame (AVG) play produces light-to-moderate-intensity physical activity. Ideally, AVG play would transition to nonscreen-based active play through incentive sensitization of traditional active play (TAP), providing AVG does not increase sedentary videogame (SVG) reinforcement. Greater autonomy increases motivation toward traditional physical activity, but whether autonomy enhances incentive sensitization has not been studied. Objectives: To determine whether autonomy over AVG play promotes incentive sensitization of TAP or SVG. Methods: Inactive children (ages 8-12; 5th-97th body mass index percentile) were provided with AVG and SVG for 6 weeks and assigned to either a high autonomy (n = 25) or low autonomy (n = 24) group, differentiated by AVG choice and more freedom over amount of play. Both groups played AVG 3 days per week. SVG were played ad libitum. Participants completed an operant responding task to measure the relative reinforcing value (RRV) of AVG versus SVG (RRV AVG vs. SVG ) and AVG versus TAP (RRV AVG vs. TAP ) at baseline, 6 weeks, and 10 weeks. Results: RRV AVG vs. SVG increased over time (P = 0.056) but did not differ by autonomy or autonomy · time (P = 0.184). RRV AVG vs. TAP decreased over time (P = 0.033) but did not differ by autonomy or autonomy · time (P = 0.73). Conclusion: AVG play does not increase motivation toward SVG and increases motivation to play AVG relative to TAP. Providing higher autonomy did not promote incentive sensitization of play.

“…Although promising, most EVG research has been conducted with children and adolescents, with relatively few studies in adults, 31,32 and adult studies are often limited to the acute effects of EVGs on energy expenditure. 24,[33][34][35][36][37] Longitudinal studies in adults have tended to focus on elderly populations and have examined the effect of EVGs on outcomes, such as balance, [38][39][40][41][42] cognition, 43 and depression. 44 Few studies have examined cardiovascular outcomes, most being small pilot studies (see review by Street et al).…”

Introduction: Adults who engage in regular physical activity have lower rates of morbidity and mortality than those who do not. Exercise videogames may offer an attractive, sustainable alternative or supplement to traditional modes of exercise. This study compared exercise videogames with standard exercise modalities for improving uptake and maintenance of moderate to vigorous physical activity, and health risk indices. Study design: A three-arm clinical RCT including 12 weeks of supervised laboratory-based moderate to vigorous physical activity followed by 6 months follow-up. Setting/participants: This study was conducted at a university affiliated hospital research lab. Healthy, sedentary adults were eligible. Interventions: This study compared a 12-week program of supervised exercise videogames versus standard exercise (e.g., treadmill) versus control. Data were collected from January 2012 to September 2017 and analyzed in 2018. Main outcome measures: The primary outcome was weekly minutes of moderate to vigorous physical activity at end of treatment, assessed at 3 and 6 months post-intervention by using selfreport and accelerometer data. Health risk indices (e.g., HbA1c, lipids) were also assessed. Results: Participants (N=283) had an average age of 46.2 ±13.5 years; 79% were female. At end of treatment, those in the exercise videogame arm engaged in 30 minutes/week more moderate to

It should be noted that boxing could also be performed virtually, using acti also boosts adherence (Naugle, Naugle, & Wikstrom, 2014;Sanders et al, 2015). Adherence is a crucial aspect for the success of the physical rehabilitation program (Rhodes & Fiala, 2009).…”

Boxing exercise programs without direct contact with an opponent, is an adapted physical activity that integrate a series of tasks that may have positive effects on people with diverse health conditions. This study aimed to analyze the scientific evidence available on the effects of using adapted boxing as a rehabilitation strategy on people with diverse health conditions. A systematic review of the scientific literature was performed on studies which dealt with the effects of boxing as a rehabilitation strategy in people with diverse health conditions. Two modified scales were applied to assess the methodological quality of the findings. A total of 10 studies were included in the analysis, 4 of them were experimental and 6 observational. None of the studies reported injuries or other health complications derived from the exercise programs. The interventions led to improvements in cardiovascular fitness, upper body strength, body composition, coordination, gait independence and gait speed. The performance of adapted boxing is beneficial for people with diverse health conditions. Future randomized trials with larger samples would be needed to determine the most appropriate therapeutic dosing for each population.

Heart Rate and Liking During “Kinect Boxing” Versus “Wii Boxing”: The Potential for Enjoyable Vigorous Physical Activity Videogames

Abstract: "Kinect Boxing" was the most preferred and the only condition that was physiologically challenging enough to be classified as a vigorous-intensity physical activity.
