TL;DR: It is suggested that time spent in moderate or higher intensity activities may not be lower with age after considering changes in physiology, functional ability, and subclinical disease burden and highlight the need for more age- and ability-specific PA research to inform future interventions and public health guidelines.

Can Exergaming Promote Physical Fitness and Physical Activity?: A Systematic Review of Systematic Reviews
TL;DR: The current evidence does not support the ability of exergaming to increase physical fitness or physical activity levels sufficiently for significant health benefits, and several gaps in previous research are revealed.
