Abstract:
It has been shown that movement based video games offer potential for game play at moderate and sometimes vigorous levels of activity. Almost all previous research is based upon a single opportunity for participants to play the game. We hypothesised that over time children will change their activity levels as they become more familiar with game play and learn to minimise the movement required to achieve similar game play results.
