“…HR, V O 2 , and EE were not statistically significantly different from traditional physical activities, and body mass However, exercises performed by children produced greater EE than those performed by adults (p < 0.05), a result that corroborates the findings of Epstein [29]. The effect of sex was not evaluated by Peng, Lin, and Crouse [30]; however, Verhoeven et al [31] did not find significant differences in EE between boys and girls (p > 0.05). Independent of participant characteristics, few studies reported an EE higher than those in the present study (0.12 ± 0.01 kcal•k g − 1 •min − 1 , equivalent to ~31.7 kJ•h − 1 •kg − 1 ).…”

To assess energy expenditure (EE) estimated by a metabolic system during the exergame Hollywood Workout on Xbox 360Kinect® and to compare this measure with the EE estimated by the exergame (EEEx). thirty-four physically active young males performed the Sports Athlete protocol of the Hollywood Workout. Oxygen uptake (V̇O2) and carbon dioxide production (V̇CO2) were measured before and during the protocol using a metabolic system. The absolute means V̇O2 and V̇CO2 were used to calculate the EE during the exergame session (EEMS). The EEEx (kcal) provided by the exergame was collected, and the two measures were compared. Mean V̇CO2 and V̇O2 during the Sports Athlete protocol were 1.8±0.4 L·min−1 (22.9±3.2 mL·kg−1.min−1) and 2.0±0.4 L·m−1 (25.4±2.6 mL·kg−1·min−1), respectively. The EEMS (300.3±53.4 kcal) was 88.6±34.7% greater than the EEEx (160.3±16.5 kcal; p<0.0001; d=3.7 [large effect size]). The EEMS was almost double EEEx. Thus, it is necessary to use caution when using EE information provided by an exergame interface. Further, future studies need to evaluate EE provided by other exergames. The companies that produce the games must be more attentive and adopt more precise methods in order to provide more accurate information to the users.

“…Previous studies measured the EE elicited by exergame practice [29][30][31] but did not compare these values with the EE reported by the exergames. Therefore, it is difficult to compare our results with the literature.…”

“…Since the effects of playing modality have been investigated with AVGs practiced as leisure time physical activity played for a short time (i.e., ≤30 minutes; O'Donovan, et al, 2012;Mackintosh, et al, 2016;Monedero, et al, 2017;Verhoeven, et al, 2015), the aim of this study was to evaluate the psycho-physiological (i.e., HR, VO 2 , EE and Rating of Perceived Exertion [RPE]) responses to AVG as a form of a workout played in SP and MP mode, also in relation to gender, by hypothesizing that: 1) MP mode could increase psycho-physiological demands when compared to SP mode, and 2) men could report higher psycho-physiological values than women. ]) college students, with no previous experience in ZFR, volunteered to participate in the study.…”

Abstract:Active video games (AVG) increase energy expenditure (EE) with respect to sedentary video games. Although several AVG consoles allow playing in single-player (SP) or multiplayer (MP) mode, few studies investigated differences in relation to game modality in men and women. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate gender-related psycho-physiological responses during Zumba Fitness Rush (ZFR) played in SP vs. MP mode. Twenty-four college students (women: 14, men: 10; age: 24.6±2.0 years; body weight: 60.2±12.5 kg; body height: 167.8±11.5 cm; BMI: 21.2±2.1 kg·m -2 ) participated in two experimental sessions: SP (a subject playing ZFR alone) and MP (two subjects playing ZFR simultaneously). Heart rate (HR), oxygen consumption (VO 2 ) and EE (MET and kcal•min ). Present findings suggest that ZFR could be classified as a moderate physical activity, proving to be an alternative form to traditional exercise. Although an effect of number of players could be expected, different player modes did not affect EE, probably because the rhythm of the music imposes a time constraint, independently of the presence of other players.

“…The literature has examined the benefits of playing exergames, including greater physical activity levels, 4 enjoyment, 5 self-efficacy, 6 positive mood change, 7 enhancement in physical and cognitive function, 8 improved physical fitness in the elderly, 9 greater energy expenditure, 10 the enhanced intention to engage in other forms of exercise, 11 and physical activity of moderate intensity. 12 Overall, literature has illustrated the health-related impacts of playing exergames. 1,[7][8][9][10][11][12] However, no study has yet investigated whether user characteristics (such as whether the user is optimistic or trying to control his or her weight) moderate the impact of playing exergames on happiness, indicating a research gap.…”
