Additionally to my committee members Casey Breslin Ph.D., Christopher Modlesky Ph.D., Iva Obrusnikova Ph.D. and Michelle Provost-Craig Ph.D. for their help. The direct support and assistance done by many people was essential for completion of the research project. Lynn Liang helped me over the past 4 years with a range of computer training to direct hands on testing of subjects. A special thanks to Danielle Brumbley who provided extensive direct support in testing. The undergraduate students who assisted in preparation and testing of the children. Assistance with recruitment of subjects was key to my success. Many helped in this situation including: sisters, nieces and nephews. Teachers at the Clara Barton Elementary school orchestrated a school wide of recruitment for participants and assisted in set up. Those people who assisted in my weekly PA group. A thanks to Bristol Township School District, Seaford School District, Lake Forest School District, the Moose Club, Easter Seals and the University of Delaware Early Childhood Center.

  • (Title of the Thesis)*
    DESIGN ASPECTS OF MULTIPLAYER EXERGAMES [TECHNICAL REPORT 2010-571] Tadeusz B. Stach Queen’s University Kingston, Ontario, Canada (February, 2010) Copyright © Tadeusz B. Stach, 2010 Abstract Exergames combine physical movement and entertainment in order to promote physical activity. Multiplayer exergames take advantage of the motivational aspects of group activity by allowing two or more people to play together. Existing research in multiplayer exergames has focused primarily on novel game designs. Currently, there is a lack of understanding on how to support and improve group exercise with exergames. Without a set of design fundamentals, it is difficult to create multiplayer exergames which increase the quality and accessibility of group exercise. This paper synthesizes existing literature into four aspects unique to multiplayer exergames: group formation, play styles, differences in skills and abilities, and quality of exercise. These features make up key design fundamentals specific to multiplayer exergames. ii Table of Contents Abstract ............................................................................................................................................ ii Table of Contents ............................................................................................................................ iii List of Figures .................................................................................................................................. v 1.

Bibliografía Las consolas del mañana Las consolas de juegos de la próxima generación prometen un “rendimiento casi sin limites”. En tres consolas de la nueva generación son: La PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 y la Nintendo Revolution. El sector de los videojuegos es hoy uno de los más rentables de la industria del entretenimiento. Para muchos es considerado un nuevo arte. Pero lo que sin duda ha conseguido es revolucionar el ocio y el entretenimiento en el hogar. Hoy en día esta revolución sigue su curso, y si en su primera etapa se aprovechó del potencial de la televisión para desarrollarse en la actualidad son Internet y las conexiones inalámbricas las que llevarán en voladas el desarrollo del sector. Un poco de Historia La historia de los videojuegos se remonta a 1958 cuando Bill Nighinbottham mostró la versión electrónica de un deporte parecido al tenis en una feria tecnológica. El invento no tuvo su reflejo comercial hasta 1971, año en que apareció la Odyssey, sistema que permitía jugar al simulador de Hill en la televisión. Pero el nacimiento de la industria del videojuego no llegó hasta el año 1972, cuando Nolan Bushnell y Ted Dabney fundaron Atari. Bushnell comprendió que la popularización de los videojuegos llegaría a través de las máquinas recreativas de monedas, y contrató a un programador de Odyssey para desarrollar uno de los juegos más exitosos de la historia, Pong.

Sanders Abstract Childhood obesity is on the rise and children’s participation in physical activity is struggling to maintain the same velocity. Technology often blamed for creating this increase in sedentary lifestyles, however it may also provide the cure. Active gaming is a contemporary approach to exercise that can provide children much needed daily physical activity. The use of active gaming equipment and creation of new facilities for active gaming is increasing throughout the United States. More research is certainly welcome in defining this new movement. However, active gaming appears to be aligned with adolescent culture and makes available a fun alternative to traditional exercise by allowing children to play the digital games they enjoy and also receive the benefits of physical exercise. Benefits as well as concerns and considerations of this movement are discussed in order to clearly appreciate the impact active gaming is currently asserting on daily physical activity patterns of children and adolescents.

  • Time Spent in MVPA During Exergaming with Xbox Kinect in Sedentary College Students
    Original Research Time Spent in MVPA during Exergaming with Xbox Kinect in Sedentary College Students CHIE YANG*1, ZACHARY WICKERT*1, SAMANTHA ROEDEL*1, ALEXANDRIA BERG*1, ALEX ROTHBAUER*1, MARQUELL JOHNSONǂ1 and DON BREDLEǂ1 1University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire *Denotes undergraduate student author, ‡Denotes professional author ABSTRACT International Journal of Exercise Science 7(4) : 286-294, 2014. The primary purpose of this study was to determine the amount of time spent in moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) during a 30-minute bout of exergaming with the Xbox Kinect game console in sedentary college-aged students. A secondary purpose was to examine enjoyment level of participation in the selected exergame. Twenty college-aged students (14 females and 6 males) who self-reported being physically inactive and having no prior experience with the Xbox Kinect game “Your Shape Fitness Evolved 2012” Break a Sweat activity participated in the study. Participants came into the lab on two separate occasions. The first visit involved baseline testing and an 11 minute familiarization session with the game and physical activity (PA) assessment equipment. On the second visit, participants wore the same equipment and completed two 15 minute sessions of the full game. After the first 15 minute session, participants rested for 5 minutes before beginning the next 15 minute session. A 5 minute warm-up and cool-down was completed before and after the testing sessions on a treadmill. Time spent in MVPA was determined via portable indirect calirometry and accelerometry worn at the wrist and waist. 30 minutes, 29.95±.22, and 27.90±1.37 minutes of the 30 minutes of exergaming were spent in MVPA according to activity monitors and indirect calirometry, respectively.
