Journal ArticleDOI
Flow Experience and Mood States While Playing Body Movement-Controlled Video Games
TL;DR: In this article, a total of 14 young adults played 6 different BMCVGs for 6 min each and performed traditional cycling exercise in a randomized order and completed the Flow State Scale-2 questionnaire.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The opportunities offered and challenges posed by neuroscientific methods when capturing user feedback and using the data to create greater user adaptivity in game are explored.
Journal ArticleDOI
Adolescent girls' energy expenditure during dance simulation active computer gaming
TL;DR: Dance simulation active computer games provide an opportunity for most adolescent girls to exercise at moderate intensity and regular playing might contribute to daily physical activity recommendations for good health in this at-risk population.
Book ChapterDOI
Dance-based exergaming: user experience design implications for maximizing health benefits based on exercise intensity and perceived enjoyment
Alasdair G. Thin,Nicola Poole +1 more
TL;DR: It is recommended that ExerGames should be designed with very low initial skill demands in order to maximize the user's level of exertion and to realize and reward progress, thereby helping to promote an enjoyable exercise experience and counterbalance any sense of exertional discomfort.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
