Lessons Learned from Gamifying Functional Fitness Training Through Human-Centered Design Methods in Older Adults.
TL;DR: This research describes a detailed and scrutinized use case of applying human-centered design methodologies in the gamification of fitness training routines and illustrates how to incorporate seniors' feedback in the game design pipeline.
Journal ArticleDOI
Students’ Attitude Toward Physical Education: Relations With Physical Activity, Physical Fitness, and Self-Concept
E. R. Gouveia,Andreas Ihle,Bruna R. Gouveia,Ana Rodrigues,Adilson Marques,Duarte L. Freitas,Matthias Kliegel,Ana Luísa Correia,Ricardo Alves,Helder Lopes +9 more
TL;DR: The authors investigated the relation between students' attitude toward physical education and its correlates by simultaneously considering age, sex, enjoying physical activity (PA), self-perceived physically active lifestyle (PAL), selfperception of physical competence, PA, and cardiovascular fitness (CF).
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Automating senior fitness testing through gesture detection with depth sensors
TL;DR: A computer-based system for assisting and automating SFT administration and scoring in the elderly population, making use of a depth sensor for body tracking and multiple gesture detectors for the evaluation of movement execution, shows high accuracy and consistency with the traditional fitness assessment method.

Heart Rate Variability in Exergaming - Feasibility and Benefits of Physiological Adaptation for Cardiorespiratory Training in Older Adults by Means of Smartwatches
TL;DR: The data suggests that smartwatch technology can be accurate enough to assess HRV changes, and that a HR based physiologically adaptive Exergame induces less HRV than a conventional training.
