Effects of Active Videogames on Physical Activity and Related Outcomes Among Healthy Children: A Systematic Review

“…84 PA increased in the higher contingency (behavior-consequence) AVG group but decreased in the lower contingency AVG group; the effect size of the difference was small. 91 All four studies 83,85,89,94 comparing an AVG and a non-AVG group reported positive intervention effects on the cognitive and psychosocial PA-related outcomes. Two effect sizes were small, 85 one was medium, 94 and one was large.…”

“…Effect sizes for the intervention studies are presented in Table 5. Compared with a control group, 8 [83][84][85][86][89][90][91]94 of 15 intervention studies found positive effects of AVGs on PA-related outcomes (including cognitive and psychosocial variables, 83,85,89,94 behavioral outcomes, [83][84][85][86]91 and physical fitness 90 ). Two studies found AVGs increased children's PA in early sessions but not in later sessions.…”

“…Two effect sizes were small, 85 one was medium, 94 and one was large. 89 Thus, AVGs had larger effects on cognitive and psychosocial outcomes than behavioral outcomes.…”

“…Effects of AVGs on habitual PA or change of PA A cross-sectional survey indicated a positive association between AVG play and PA. 88 Among the 21 intervention studies, [73][74][75][76][77][78][79][80][81][82][83][84][85][86][87][89][90][91][92][93][94] 13 were RCTs, and 4 RCTs 73-75,87 indicated they were pilot studies ( Table 4).…”

Nuevas metodologías educativas para combatir la inactividad física. La tecnología al servicio de la educación

“…En esta línea, Lisón et al, (2015), comprobaron que 20 minutos de práctica competitiva (Comparando su progreso con los demás) de Xbox Kinect Adventures aumentaba la respuestas psicológicas respecto al grupo de control que solo caminaba (p <.001). Wagener et al (2012), investigó el impacto del EX Dance Dance Revolution durante 10 semanas. Encontraron que los adolescentes que utilizaban este EX mejoraban las relaciones parentales y autoconcepto respecto al grupo control.…”
