With exergames (as with physical activity in general), more intense and longer-duration game play should accrue more health benefits. Exergames, however, appear to be played for relatively short durations, often at medium or lower intensities. Ostensibly games are played for fun or enjoyment. Enhancing the fun or enjoyment experienced during exergame play should enhance the intensity and duration of physical activity, and thereby the health benefits. Research, reviewed herein, indicates fun and/or enjoyment in games are inherently laden with psychosocial, physiological, and embodiment substrates. Physical activity may also have separate or closely related psychosocial, physiological, and embodiment enjoyment substrates. Research is needed to integrate these levels of experience and to identify the game mechanics that enhance, and even maximize, the fun or enjoyment experienced in exergames, to thereby increase the health benefit.

“…Tailored advice is in theory more persuasive because it is more personally relevant (Petty & Cacioppo, 1981), but recent evidence for using tailored physical activity advice is mixed (Hurling et al, 2007;Kroeze, Werkman, & Brug, 2006;Vandelanotte, De Bourdeaudhuij, Sallis, Spittaels, & Brug, 2005;Williams et al, 2006).…”

This study evaluated a Web site providing tailored advice to encourage older people to undertake strength and balance training (SBT). Adults age 60-88 (N = 302) were randomized to read either generic advice or advice tailored to their self-perceived balance problems and activity preferences. Between-groups differences in attitudes toward SBT after reading the advice did not quite reach significance (p = .059), but the tailored group reported higher ratings than the generic group that the advice was personally relevant (p = .017) and that the activities would be good for them (p = .047). Within-groups differences in the tailored group showed that completing an action plan increased confidence in undertaking SBT (p = .006). These findings were supported by a meta-analysis that pooled the effect sizes with those of a previous study. Thus, a tailored Web site might be a cost-effective way of encouraging some older people to undertake SBT.

“…A apreciação pela prática não apenas pode aumentar o nível da atividade física (DISHMAN et al, 2005), como também pode influenciar a adesão às atividades a longo prazo (WILLIAMS et al, 2006). Além disso, embora a atitude do estudante com relação à Educação Física seja geralmente positiva, as diferenças individuais podem levar os alunos a não se motivarem a participar das aulas (STELZER et al, 2004).…”

Resumo: Este artigo apresenta um estudo sobre o uso de exergames em práticas estruturadas em aulas de Educação Física envolvendo estudantes que geralmente apresentam sinais de insatisfação com atividades esportivas propostas nas aulas regulares da disciplina. Enquanto os videogames foram historicamente associados a problemas como obesidade e introversão social, os exergames trouxeram uma nova perspectiva para esses artefatos culturais. Vinte e quatro alunos entre oito e 14 anos de idade participaram do estudo, realizado em um laboratório criado em uma escola no sul do Brasil. Os alunos foram observados e seus professores de Educação Física entrevistados ao final do projeto. Como resultado, foi possível observar que os estudantes que normalmente não demonstravam interesse pelas aulas de Educação Física passaram a apresentar uma atitude positiva em relação às práticas com os exergames, evidenciando também sua disposição em colaborar com os colegas.Abstract: This paper presents a study about the use of exergames in structured Physical Education (PE) classes with students that usually show signs of dissatisfaction with sports activities proposed at regular PE classes. While videogames have been historically associated with issues related to obesity and social introversion, exergames brought a new perspective on those cultural artifacts. Twenty-four 8-14-year-old students participated in the study conducted in a laboratory set up in a school in Southern Brazil. They were observed and their PE teachers were also interviewed at the end of project. Results showed that students that usually did not show interest in Physical Education classes started to demonstrate a positive attitude regarding exergame practices, also expressing willingness to cooperate with their peers.Resumen: Este artículo presenta un estudio sobre el uso de exergames en prácticas estructuradas en clases de Educación Física con estudiantes que generalmente presentan señales de insatisfacción frente a las actividades deportivas propuestas en las clases regulares de la asignatura. Mientras los videojuegos han sido históricamente asociados a problemas como obesidad e introversión social, los exergames han traído una nueva perspectiva para esos artefactos culturales. Veinticuatro alumnos entre ocho y catorce años de edad han participado en este estudio, desarrollado en un laboratorio organizado en una escuela en el sur de Brasil. Los estudiantes fueron observados y sus profesores de Educación Física entrevistados al final del proyecto. Como resultado, fue posible observar que los estudiantes que normalmente no mostraban interés por las clases de Educación Física, pasaron a presentar una actitud positiva en relación a las prácticas con los exergames, evidenciando también su disposición de colaborar con sus compañeros.
