  • Off the Couch! Video Games That Encourage Activity
    Off The Couch! Video Games That Encourage Activity By: Kim Keough “Turn off that video game!” Have you been harassed to turn off your video games and get off the couch? Ever find yourself in a fight with your parents about it? That may be in part because video games have often been blamed for childhood obesity and laziness and your parent may have that in mind. But now, thanks to new technology, many companies are making video games that encourage lots of jumping, dancing, and sports simulations. Now you can play really cool games that test your skills and let you brag about your high scores. But the kicker is that it might keep parents off your back. Now you can say these interactive games get the heart rate up and chest pounding – and that you’re meeting your daily recommendation for exercise! Need more ammo to prove a point? Using video games for fitness has a couple of benefits: Improved motivation: By playing against an opponent, or by trying to beat a previous score, video gamers may be motivated to try harder and do better each day. Working different body parts: Video games geared toward strength training, balance and aerobics can be helpful in getting people moving, rather than just sitting stationary and working their thumbs on the game controller. Bringing families together: You can play fitness-focused games with your parents, sisters, and brothers, improving the fitness of the entire family. Shape Up! You can burn more than four times as many calories per minute playing an active video game than playing a seated game.

In the consideration of BFP (Body fat percentage) values of the experiment, the WBB was placed on top of the FP to obtain user. Several person with different body types are involved measurement from both devices at the same time, which is into the test. The algorithm is improved by comparing the set as the same as the method1 proposed in kinesiology body type of the user to the ’golden- standard’ body type. research community.

González-Bernal 1 , Maha Jahouh 1,* , Josefa González-Santos 1,*, Juan Mielgo-Ayuso 1,* , Diego Fernández-Lázaro 2,3 and Raúl Soto-Cámara 1 1 Department of Health Sciences, University of Burgos, 09001 Burgos, Spain; [email protected] (J.J.G.-B.); [email protected] (R.S.-C.) 2 Department of Biochemistry, Molecular Biology and Physiology, Faculty of Health Sciences, Campus of Soria, University of Valladolid, 42003 Soria, Spain; [email protected] 3 Neurobiology Research Group, Faculty of Medicine, University of Valladolid, 47005 Valladolid, Spain * Correspondence: [email protected] (M.J.); [email protected] (J.G.-S.); [email protected] (J.M.-A.) Abstract: Aging is a multifactorial physiological phenomenon in which cellular and molecular changes occur. These changes lead to poor locomotion, poor balance, and an increased falling risk. This study aimed to determine the impact and effectiveness of the use of the Wii® game console on improving walking speed and balance, as well as its influence on frailty levels and falling risk, in older adults. A longitudinal study was designed with a pretest/post-test structure. The study population comprised people over 75 years of age who lived in a nursing home or attended a day care center (n = 80; 45 women; 84.2 ± 8.7 years). Forty of them were included in the Wii group (20 rehabilitation sessions during 8 consecutive weeks), and the other 40 were in the control group.

  • Using the Nintendo Wii ® to Teach Human Factors Principles
    AC 2009-1414: USING THE NINTENDO WII ® TO TEACH HUMAN FACTORS PRINCIPLES Lesley Strawderman, Mississippi State University Lesley Strawderman is an assistant professor in the Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering. She conducts research in the area of human factors and ergonomics, specifically looking at the impact of large scale service systems on human use. She has received her IE degrees from Penn State and Kansas State Universities. Page 14.1334.1 Page © American Society for Engineering Education, 2009 Using the Nintendo Wii ® to teach Human Factors Principles Abstract This paper describes how to use of the Nintendo Wii® game console to teach students a variety of human factors principles. First, the concept of Signal Detection Theory (SDT) is explained using a personalized searching game on the Wii®. Next, an activity involving human sensory systems is discussed. Finally, a learning module that addresses control design and feedback, focusing on the game’s controller (Wii Remote or Wiimote) is presented. Potential topic areas for future activities, including human computer interaction, are also discussed. The teaching activities described in this paper have been successfully used by the author in past semesters. A sampling of student feedback is provided in the paper. Finally, a discussion of how the activities could be extended to non-human factors courses and outreach activities is presented. Introduction The Nintendo Wii is a popular video game console that allows the player to interact with the games in many new ways. The focus of the Wii gaming system is its controller, called a Wii Remote. The wireless device functions much like a remote control, but has motion detecting technology that allows players to interact with the Wii games using motions.

    J. Phys. Ther.

[Purpose] Balance is an integral part of human ability. The smart balance master system (SBM) is a balance test instrument with good reliability and validity, but it is expensive. Therefore, we modified a Wii Fit bal- ance board, which is a convenient balance assessment tool, and analyzed its reliability and validity. [Subjects and Methods] We recruited 20 healthy young adults and 20 elderly people, and administered 3 balance tests. The corre- lation coefficient and intraclass correlation of both instruments were analyzed. [Results] There were no statistically significant differences in the 3 tests between the Wii Fit balance board and the SBM. The Wii Fit balance board had a good intraclass correlation (0.86–0.99) for the elderly people and positive correlations (r = 0.58–0.86) with the SBM. [Conclusions] The Wii Fit balance board is a balance assessment tool with good reliability and high validity for elderly people, and we recommend it as an alternative tool for assessing balance ability.
