“…While some of these works focus on specific subtypes or use cases of XR exergames, no work has yet provided an up-to-date overview of this rapidly evolving domain. Some reviews focused on general physical activity, not particularly on exergames (e.g., [79,184]). Other reviews covered non-immersive "VR" exergames (e.g., [36,45,49]) and examined their health-related outcomes (e.g., [49,141,165]).…”

“…Kappen et al [110] identified various focuses of non-immersive exergames (e.g., cognitive training) for older adults, which we incorporated in the goal dimension of our taxonomy. Lastly, only a few papers considered the intersection of XR technology and physical activity (e.g., [79,184]). Odenigbo et al [184] reviewed 39 VR, AR, and MR physical activity interventions and showed that most of them included exergaming.…”

“…Lastly, only a few papers considered the intersection of XR technology and physical activity (e.g., [79,184]). Odenigbo et al [184] reviewed 39 VR, AR, and MR physical activity interventions and showed that most of them included exergaming. Only one paper [247] provided a narrative review on the overlapping space of XR and exergames, featuring 29 HMD-VR "health games".…”

Many people struggle to exercise regularly, raising the risk of serious health-related issues. Extended reality (XR) exergames address these hurdles by combining physical exercises with enjoyable, immersive gameplay. While a growing body of research explores XR exergames, no previous review has structured this rapidly expanding research landscape. We conducted a scoping review of the current state of XR exergame research to (i) provide a structured overview, (ii) highlight trends, and (iii) uncover knowledge gaps. After identifying 1318 papers in human-computer interaction and medical databases, we ultimately included 186 papers in our analysis. We provide a quantitative and qualitative summary of XR exergame research, showing current trends and potential future considerations. Finally, we provide a taxonomy of XR exergames to help future design and methodological investigation and reporting. CCS CONCEPTS• Human-centered computing → Mixed / augmented reality; Virtual reality; HCI theory, concepts and models; • Software and its engineering → Interactive games.

New technologies are tools that are present in daily life on a regular basis. In order to improve the didactic process, education must take into account these new technologies. In the field of physical education, the significance of these technologies is reflected in the existence of applications that can be carried out within the field, both for educational purposes and for physical fitness and health. This is due to the potential presented by virtual reality, augmented reality and mixed reality. The objective of this study was to examine the utilisation and impact of AR, VR and MR technologies in physical education at the compulsory stage. In order to achieve this objective, a design based on the PRISMA methodology for conducting systematic reviews was employed. The databases of WOS, Scopus, PubMed and Google Scholar were subjected to analysis. The results indicate that there has been a notable increase in research activity in this field in recent years. The analysis yielded four principal areas of focus, namely the utilisation of pedagogical methodologies, the enhancement of motor and health-related competencies, and moreover, the facilitation of optimal integration of students in physical education. The utilisation and consequences of novel technologies represent a suitable instrument for enhancing the educational experience of students enrolled in physical education programmes.
