ABSTRACT
In this study, we proposed an exergame to reduce resistance to exercise and maintain motivation in adolescents with orthostatic dysregulation. We created a 2D side-scrolling action game in Unity to be played on smartphones. The game is synchronized with exercises that can be done in a lying posture. We analyzed the effect of the game on the feelings of the participants. Our experiments showed that the use of the exergame has a positive effect on the participants’ emotions during exercise.

The acute cognitive benefits of casual exergame play
CHI '12: Proceedings of the SIGCHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing SystemsAcute cognitive benefits, such as temporary improvements in concentration, can result from as few as ten minutes of exercise; however, most people do not take exercise breaks throughout the day. To motivate people to receive the cognitive benefits of ...
