“…The two cross-sectional/correlational studies included 3915 [ 82 ] and 133 participants [ 124 ], respectively. The majority of studies (n=19) recruited young adults, while four studies involved older adults [ 105 , 109 , 112 , 117 ], 3 studies involved children [ 103 , 110 , 123 ], and 2 studies focused on middle-aged adults [ 82 , 102 ]. No study that recruited adolescents emerged in our final article list ( Table 3 ).…”

“…Fifteen studies involved healthy participants, in most cases recruited from university staff and students, whereas three studies recruited participants among full-time workers [ 82 ], soldiers [ 86 ], and older adults in federal programs for assistance [ 117 ]. The other studies included soldiers who had posttraumatic stress disorder [ 113 ]; older adults who lived in a nursing home [ 112 ] and with Parkinson disease [ 109 ]; adults with at least minimal symptoms of depression [ 114 ], clinical depression, and comorbid anxiety [ 102 ], systemic lupus erythematosus [ 122 ], obesity [ 108 ], physical disabilities [ 116 ], and hematologic malignancies [ 105 ]; women after emergency cesarean section [ 115 ]; children with molar incisor hypomineralization–affected teeth [ 103 ], chronic wounds on the lower limbs that require active dressing changes [ 110 ], and who sustained second- and third-degree burns to the shoulders, neck, chest, bilateral forearms, and left thigh [ 123 ] ( Table 3 ).…”

“…Three studies recruited older adults (ie, up to 55 years old). The results of these studies suggest that the use of COTS games can be helpful for the elderly population not only to improve cognition [130][131][132] or to enhance physical activity [133][134][135] but also for relaxation [105,109,117]. This fact appears relevant since, if older adults generally do have lower stress and anxiety and better emotional regulation than younger adults [136], given the COVID-19 pandemic, this age group is currently experiencing significant adverse psychological consequences [134,135,137].…”

Background Using commercial off-the-shelf video games rather than custom-made computer games could have several advantages for reducing stress and anxiety, including their low cost, advanced graphics, and the possibility to reach millions of individuals worldwide. However, it is important to emphasize that not all commercial video games are equal, and their effects strongly depend on specific characteristics of the games. Objective The aim of this systematic review was to describe the literature on the use of commercial off-the-shelf video games for diminishing stress and anxiety, examining the research outcomes along with critical variables related to computer game characteristics (ie, genre, platform, time of play). Methods A systematic search of the literature was performed following the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis) guidelines. The search databases were PsycINFO, Web of Science, Medline, IEEExplore, and the Cochrane Library. The search string was: [(“video game*”) OR (“computer game*”)] AND [(“stress”) OR (“anxiety”) OR (“relaxation”)] AND [(“study”) OR (“trial”) OR (“training”)]. Results A total of 28 studies met the inclusion criteria for the publication period 2006-2021. The findings demonstrate the benefit of commercial off-the-shelf video games for reducing stress in children, adults, and older adults. The majority of the retrieved studies recruited young adults, and fewer studies have involved children, middle-aged adults, and older adults. In addition to exergames and casual video games, other genres of commercial off-the-shelf games helped to reduce stress and anxiety. Conclusions Efficacy in reducing stress and anxiety has been demonstrated not only for exergames and casual video games but also for other genres such as action games, action-adventure games, and augmented reality games. Various gaming platforms, including consoles, PCs, smartphones, mobile consoles, and virtual reality systems, have been used with positive results. Finally, even single and short sessions of play had benefits in reducing stress and anxiety.

“…Anecdotal evidence suggests that video communication technologies (e.g., zoom) have been widely used to facilitate the continuation of exercise classes (e.g., Pilates) during the pandemic, presenting a social opportunity also. In a further illustrative example of the use of technology, de Morais et al (2020) found acute mood benefits for older adults who followed 60 min of Xbox exercise. Where it is not physically or practically possible to accommodate longer durations of physical activity, individuals may follow “exercise snacking,” a term that describes short bouts (e.g., 2–10 min) of physical activity undertaken across the day ( Perkin et al, 2019 ).…”

“…Homeworking, experienced by 34.6% of respondents, may also have signified a change in the way of working for many. While a shift to homeworking may bring some relief from stress through less time spent commuting, remote workers may experience conflicting demands on time (de Menezes and Kelliher, 2011). During lockdown, this was exacerbated among those with caring and home-schooling responsibilities.…”

A Cross-Cultural Exploratory Study of Health Behaviors and Wellbeing During COVID-19

This study explored the influence of the COVID-19 pandemic on perceived health behaviors; physical activity, sleep, and diet behaviors, alongside associations with wellbeing. Participants were 1,140 individuals residing in the United Kingdom (n = 230), South Korea (n = 204), Finland (n = 171), Philippines (n = 132), Latin America (n = 124), Spain (n = 112), North America (n = 87), and Italy (n = 80). They completed an online survey reporting possible changes in the targeted behaviors as well as perceived changes in their physical and mental health. Multivariate analyses of covariance (MANCOVA) on the final sample (n = 1,131) revealed significant mean differences regarding perceived physical and mental health “over the last week,” as well as changes in health behaviors during the pandemic by levels of physical activity and country of residence. Follow up analyses indicated that individuals with highest decrease in physical activity reported significantly lower physical and mental health, while those with highest increase in physical activity reported significantly higher increase in sleep and lower weight gain. United Kingdom participants reported lowest levels of physical health and highest increase in weight while Latin American participants reported being most affected by emotional problems. Finnish participants reported significantly higher ratings for physical health. The physical activity by country interaction was significant for wellbeing. MANCOVA also revealed significant differences across physical activity levels and four established age categories. Participants in the oldest category reported being significantly least affected by personal and emotional problems; youngest participants reported significantly more sleep. The age by physical activity interaction was significant for eating. Discussed in light of Hobfoll (1998) conservation of resources theory, findings endorse the policy of advocating physical activity as a means of generating and maintaining resources combative of stress and protective of health.
