摘要
Seventy-five percent of older adults do not participate in regular physical activity. Exergames is a new subject of research with older adults. The aim of the study was to determine the impact of older adults' participation in Xbox Kinect and Nintendo Wii games. Tweleve senior center members played a variety of exergames for 6 weeks. There were improvements in the Berg Balance, non-significant improvements in Chair Stands and the Timed-Up and Go, and no changes in psychosocial measures. Older adults' participation Xbox Kinect exergames may promote physical activity in a fun, social supportive, and positive community environment and improved physical activity.
