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 research explores XR exergames, no previous review has structured this rapidly expanding landscape. We conducted scoping current state exergame (i) provide overview, (ii) highlight trends, and (iii) uncover knowledge gaps. After identifying 1318 papers in human-computer interaction medical databases, we ultimately included 186 our analysis. quantitative qualitative summary research, showing trends potential future considerations. Finally, taxonomy help design methodological investigation reporting.

Childhood obesity is a critical public health issue linked to long-term complications like type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. This narrative review aimed examine the effectiveness of virtual reality (VR)-based interventions in supporting key components treatment—physical activity (PA), nutrition education, behavior change—particularly children under 12. Using intensive lifestyle treatment (IHBLT) approach, we synthesized findings from studies published between 2014 2024. Of reviewed, only one study met inclusion criteria, showing that VR-based effectively increased light-intensity PA reduced sedentary children, though these effects were not sustained long-term. The scarcity limits generalizability findings, emphasizing need for caution interpretation. Our highlights significant gap literature regarding VR’s role childhood treatment. Future research should explore efficacy VR promoting PA, enhancing changes. Expanding this evidence base vital developing accessible engaging tailored young children. Addressing could enhance options, offering innovative effective strategies improve outcomes vulnerable population.

Introduction Virtual reality (VR) exercises are reportedly beneficial as a physical activity tool for health promotion and rehabilitation, can also help individuals exercise under professional supervision. We developed investigated the potential feasibility of VR-based aerobic program using XBOX ONE console Kinect sensor with real-time pulse rate monitoring. The VR setting consisted two-dimensional (2D) environments via computer, laptop, or television screens. In addition, study on hemodynamic response arterial stiffness in healthy participants various ages. Methods Healthy ( n = 30) aged > 18 years were enrolled exercise-based program. All required to wear polar heart (HR) monitor set moderate-intensity exercise, targeting 40%–59% their HR reserve. Hemodynamic (pulse wave velocity) noninvasively measured. Borg scale perceived exertion (RPE) was assessed. Results Following VR-guided routine, all performed no adverse outcomes during after exercise. effects extended beyond enhanced central stiffness. However, neither nor showed significant differences before except higher RPE following Conclusion monitoring is promising induce physiological changes impact dyspnea scales feasible administration populations.

Physical inactivity or lack of physical activity has become an increasingly widespread and important global public health problem. Along with technological developments, the interest in e-sports is also increasing. Virtual reality (VR) games applied within scope include movements by nature, which encourages players to move more be active. This study aimed compare VR mobile regarding physiologic load. Twenty-two (13 males, 9 females) healthy university students a mean age 21.72 ± 1.39 years, height 171.59 9.12 cm, body weight 64.95 13.35 kg, who did not smoke, play sports professionally, have chronic diseases, voluntarily participated study. Participants were randomly assigned active video game using virtual headset (MO) on smartphone for 2 days. The duration was determined as 15 min. temperature participants before after heart rate (HR) values during measured from beat beat. A non-contact infrared thermometer used measuring temperature, telemetric device HR measurements. When MO compared no intra- inter-group differences observed. Regarding HR, HRmean, HRmax, HRtotal statistically significantly higher than games. In addition, analyses performed according time spent percentage maximal rate, it observed that longer below Under Very Light (UVL). On contrary, at Above (AVL). As result, parameters all levels, suggesting may effective tool activity-based gaming experiences.
