Thesis (M.S.)--Boston University / OBJECTIVE: The aim of this research study was to see if Nintendo Wii Fit is better able to improve balance in the elderly population when compared to the Matter of Balance program, which is evidence.-based and designed to promote health, balance and wellbeing to decrease the risk of falls. PARTICIPANTS: Residents of an independent living senior housing facility in the Boston area were recruited to participate in this study. A total of 32 residents ages 63 to 90 participated: Wii Fit n=11, Matter of Balance n=11, and Control n=1O. Methods: Participants were separated into three groups. Experimental group 1: The Wii Fit Group performed balance games on the Wii Fit in individual sessions twice a week for three weeks. Experimental group 2: The Matter of Balance Group performed exercises from the Matter of Balance Program in a group setting twice a week for three weeks. The control group received no intervention. Participants in the Wii Fit group had the addition of supplemental home exercises. Two balance and one health and wellness measure were used to determine whether there were any changes following intervention: the Berg Balance Scale, the Tinetti Gait and Balance Assessment, and the Short Form-36 Health Survey (SF-36). RESULTS: Repeated measures ANOV As were used to determine whether there was an effect of the interventions on balance, health and well-being and whether there were any differences between intervention groups. Scores were significantly improved at post-test for both balance assessments: Berg Balance Scale (F1,29= 17.034, p < 0.001); Tinetti Gait and Balance Assessment (F1,29 = 9.715, p < 0.004). The mean increases in balance scores were larger, but not significantly so, for the exercise groups as compared to the control group. Results from the Wii Fit Enjoyment Questionnaire showed that 81% of participants reported high levels of enjoyment while playing the Wii games. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION: The Wii Fit is an enjoyable form of exercise as self-reported from an elderly population. Balance improved in the Wii Fit group following intervention, but only a small amount and not significantly more than improvements made by the MOB-exercise and non-exercise control groups. It is likely that the three week duration of the Wii Fit intervention was too short a period to make a large and significant impact on elders' balance.

Aim The purpose of this study is to compare the level of activity between playing wii Sports Tennis and wii Sports boxing, and the usual sports, and to see how the two variants are perceived.Issues:- How much strain ratio and energy consumption it gives to exercise wii sports compared with the playing of sport for real?- How do the test participants experience the different tests?- How are the two wii sports games against each other in terms of activity and fitness in the school environment? Method This is an experimental study in which 10 test participants (5 men and 5 women) have carried out four different physical tests. The tests consisted of either playing an exergame or playing a sport for 25 minutes. Physical activity was measured during the test using a heart rate monitor. All test participants completed all tests in the same order. After each test, all test participants filled out a questionnaire concerning their immediate subjective experiences of the test. The results from the questionnaire where later compiled with the results from the physical tests. Results The results showed that the physical activity of the tennis and wii tennis differed. Tennis generated in 30% higher average heart rate and 88% higher average energy expenditure. The comparison between boxing and wii boxing, gave no significant results. Wii boxing generated 32% higher average heart rate and 81% higher average energy expenditure compared to wii tennis. Test Study participants also considered wii boxing to be more suitable in physical education than wii tennis. They also felt that both wii boxing and tennis was more enjoyable than wii tennis. Conclusion Wii tennis generated the lowest physical activity as compared to the three other forms of exercise. The real sports were most suitable for school sports, however, wii boxing was more suitable than wii tennis. Test participants also considered the wii boxing as more enjoyable than wii tennis and tennis / Syfte och frågeställningar Syftet med denna studie är att jämföra aktivitetsgraden mellan att spela wii sports tennis och wii sports boxning och, de vanliga idrotterna, samt att se hur de båda varianterna upplevs. Frågeställningar: - Hur stor ansträngsningsgrad och energiförbrukning innebär utövande av wii sports jämfört med att utöva idrotterna på riktigt? - Hur upplever testdeltagarna de olika testerna? - Hur skiljer sig de två wii sportspelen beträffande aktivitet och lämplighet i skolmiljö? Metod Detta är en experimentell studie där 10 testdeltagare (5 män och 5 kvinnor) har genomfört 4 olika fysiska tester. Testerna bestod av att antingen spela ett träningsspel eller utöva en idrott i 25 minuter. Den fysiska aktiviteten mättes under testet med hjälp av pulsklocka. Alla testdeltagare genomförde alla tester i samma ordning. Efter varje avslutat test fick alla testdeltagare fylla i en enkät om deras omedelbara subjektiva upplevelser kring testet. Dessa sammanställdes sedan tillsammans med de fysiska resultaten. Resultat Resultaten visade att tennis och wii tennis skiljde sig åt. Tennis genererade 30% högre genomsnittlig arbetspuls och 88% högre genomsnittlig energiförbrukning. I jämförelsen mellan boxning och wii boxning fanns inga signifikanta resultat. Wii boxning genererade 32% högre genomsnittlig arbetspuls och 81% högre genomsnittlig energiförbrukning jämfört med wii tennis. Testdeltagarna i studien ansåg även att wii boxning passar bättre i skolidrotten jämfört med wii tennis. De upplevde även att både wii boxning och tennis var roligare än wii tennis. Slutsats Wii tennis genererade lägst fysisk aktivitet jämfört med de övriga tre motionsformer. De riktiga idrotterna ansågs mest appliceringsbara till skolidrotten, dock ansågs wii boxning lättare att applicera än wii tennis. Testdeltagarna ansåg också wii boxning som roligare än wii tennis och tennis.

abstract: Sustaining a fall can be hazardous for those with low bone mass. Interventions exist to reduce fall-risk, but may not retain long-term interest. "Exergaming" has become popular in older adults as a therapy, but no research has been done on its preventative ability in non-clinical populations. The purpose was to determine the impact of 12-weeks of interactive play with the Wii Fit® on balance, muscular fitness, and bone health in peri- menopausal women. METHODS: 24 peri-menopausal-women were randomized into study groups. Balance was assessed using the Berg/FICSIT-4 and a force plate. Muscular strength was measured using the isokinetic dynamometer at 60°/180°/240°/sec and endurance was assessed using 50 repetitions at 240°/sec. Bone health was tracked using dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) for the hip/lumbar spine and qualitative ultrasound (QUS) of the heel. Serum osteocalcin was assessed by enzyme immunoassay. Physical activity was quantified using the Women's Health Initiative Physical Activity Questionnaire and dietary patterns were measured using the Nurses' Health Food Frequency Questionnaire. All measures were repeated at weeks 6 and 12, except for the DXA, which was completed pre-post. RESULTS: There were no significant differences in diet and PA between groups. Wii Fit® training did not improve scores on the Berg/FICSIT-4, but improved center of pressure on the force plate for Tandem Step, Eyes Closed (p-values: 0.001-0.051). There were no significant improvements for muscular fitness at any of the angular velocities. DXA BMD of the left femoral neck improved in the intervention group (+1.15%) and decreased in the control (-1.13%), but no other sites had significant changes. Osteocalcin indicated no differences in bone turnover between groups at baseline, but the intervention group showed increased bone turnover between weeks 6 and 12. CONCLUSIONS: Findings indicate that WiiFit® training may improve balance by preserving center of pressure. QUS, DXA and osteocalcin data confirm that those in the intervention group were experiencing more bone turnover and bone formation than the control group. In summary, twelve weeks of strength /balance training with the Wii Fit® shows promise as a preventative intervention to reduce fall and fracture risk in non-clinical middle aged women who are at risk. / Dissertation/Thesis / Ph.D. Exercise and Wellness 2014

A população mundial está envelhecendo e as mudanças no perfil, características e funcionalidade própria dos sujeitos idosos geram impacto no desenvolvimento de produtos, nos serviços de cuidados de saúde e assistência social. Durante o processo de envelhecimento o idoso é exposto a diversos tipos de processos transformadores que podem ter impacto na capacidade funcional de forma que interfiram na realização das atividades da vida diária e na participação social. O equilíbrio é uma das habilidades que podem ser afetadas pelo envelhecimento. A atividade física específica auxilia a evitar quedas entre a população idosa.

Moreover, there is the growing number of elderly people on the planet. Thus, this research aims to outline the central features of today's games from the interaction with the elderly population using the Nintendo Wii. The secondary objectives are to create interactions with Wii workshops for seniors; observe interactions, collect data, analyze the data and, finally, point of game design elements that may harm or help the elderly in four areas: visual, sound, interactivity and sociability. The research involved different strategies and methods: encounters with the elderly group, workshops, practical activities with the Wii, asking questions, reading of texts on the elderly and game design, review and reformulation of the initial questions and the development of the dissertation. Data collection was conducted through questionnaires prepared by the researcher, video recordings, photographs and data from the video game software through the use of games in the collection Wii Sports, which include five sports: tennis, boxing, bowling, baseball and golf in weekly meetings during two months with the group of participants in the volleyball team "Golden Age" of Itatiba / SP, composed of elderly. To analyze the data collected, authors were used in areas that include psychology in the elderly (Argimon), caloric expenditure with the use of games similar to those used in this study (Robin R. Mellecker and Alison M. McManus), cognitive effects in elderly users of games, the market revolution promoted by the Wii, game development, the possible insertion of the elderly population in this market and the tools used in creating these works (Nelson Zagalo and Rui Prada). In the field of critical studies about games, were fundamental to the research Jesus de Paula Assis, Roger Tavares, Vinicius Mano, Edson P. Pfutzenreuter, Andrés Rollings, Ernest Adams, Celia Pearce, among others. The results highlighted the need for the reformulation of the game design aimed at the elderly as this segment of the population has physical and behavioral characteristics significantly different from the adult audience and / or juvenile. Aspects such as the choice of colors and arrangement of information on the screen, the sound frequencies used, methods of handling the interaction and preference for more cooperative than competitive games stood out as key factors to please and meet the needs of this growing audience in our society / Atualmente, o foco do mercado de jogos digitais está no desenvolvimento de games para o público em geral, e, principalmente, para o segmento infanto-juvenil. Por outro lado, observa-se o crescimento do número de idosos no planeta. Neste contexto, esta pesquisa tem como objetivo central delinear as características dos jogos atuais a partir da interação com o público idoso através da utilização do Nintendo Wii. Os objetivos secundários são: criar oficinas de interações com Wii para idosos; observar as interações; coletar dados; analisar os dados obtidos e, finalmente, apontar elementos de Game Design que possam prejudicar ou auxiliar os idosos em quatro âmbitos: visualidade, sonoridade, interatividade e sociabilidade. A pesquisa envolveu diferentes estratégias e métodos: encontros com o grupo de idosos; oficinas de atividades práticas com o Wii; formulação de perguntas; leitura de textos sobre a terceira idade e Game Design; revisão e reformulação das questões iniciais; desenvolvimento da dissertação. A coleta de dados foi realizada através de questionários confeccionados pelo pesquisador, gravações de vídeo, fotografias e dados retirados do software do videogame através do uso de games na coletânea Wii Sports, que englobam cinco modalidades: tênis, boxe, boliche, beisebol e golfe, em encontros semanais durante o período de dois meses com o grupo de participantes do time de vôlei Melhor Idade de Itatiba/SP, composto por idosos. Para a análise dos dados colhidos foram utilizados autores que englobam psicologia em idosos (Argimon), gasto calórico com a utilização de jogos similares aos utilizados nesta pesquisa (Robin R. Mellecker e Alison M. McManus), efeitos cognitivos em idosos utilizadores de games, a revolução do mercado promovida pelo Wii, o desenvolvimento de games, a possível inserção do público idoso neste mercado e as ferramentas utilizadas na criação destas obras (Nelson Zagalo e Rui Prada). No campo dos estudos críticos sobre games, foram fundamentais as pesquisas de Jesus de Paula Assis, Roger Tavares, Vinícius Mano, Edson P. Pfutzenreuter, Andrés Rollings, Ernest Adams, Célia Pearce, entre outros. Os resultados obtidos realçaram a necessidade da reformulação do Game Design direcionado à terceira idade à medida que essa parcela da população tem características físicas e comportamentais significativamente diferentes do público adulto e/ou infanto-juvenil. Aspectos como a escolha de cores e disposição de informações na tela, frequências sonoras utilizadas, métodos de movimentação na interação e a preferência por jogos mais cooperativos que competitivos se destacaram como fatores decisivos para agradar e atender às necessidades deste público crescente em nossa sociedade

<p>Detta är ett uppsats på D-nivå. I en tidigare kurs, inom vårat program Data- och Systemvetenskap, kom vi på en idé om hur man kan förbättra/komplettera utbildningen av nyanställda som befinner sig i en stressig arbetsplats på företag där det är ett ständigt behov av återanställning av personal. Vi utvecklade detta koncept och kom med idén till en simulator som kan utbilda personal samt minska stress hos nyanställda. Idén mognade till en Serious Game simulator baserad på en Wii-kontrollerad PC-baserad simulator med Bluetooth-stöd.Syftet med denna uppsats är att skapa en guide om grunderna i en simulator som utnyttjar Wii-kontroller som externa inmatningsenheter. I denna guide kommer vi att täcka hur Nintendos Wii-kontroll fungerar, hur man kan skapa enkla 3D-modeller i Blender och även hur detta kan implementeras i Microsoft XNA. Med denna guide som bas kommer vi också att visa hur vi utvecklat en prototyp med hjälp av ett designkoncept som utvecklats av våra kollegor Christopher Saarinen & Evin Antoniadis forskning. Detta examensarbete har resulterat i både en guide och en fungerande prototyp som implementerar de grundläggande delarna av våra kollegors designkoncept.</p> / <p>This is a thesis on D-level. In a previous course, at our program Computer Science, we came up with an idea of how to improve/complement training for new employees who are situated in a stressful workplace at companies who are in a constant need of rehiring. We developed this concept and came up with an idea for a simulator that could train staff as well as relieve stress and tension for new employees. The idea matured and became a Serious Game simulator based on a dual-wield Wii-controlled PC-based simulator with Bluetooth support. The aim of this thesis is to create a developer’s guide on the basis of a simulator with the use of Wii remotes as external input devices. In this guide we will cover how the Nintendo Wii Remote works, how to create simple 3D-models in Blender and also how this can be implemented in Microsoft XNA. With this guide as a base we will also show how we developed a prototype using a design concept developed through the research of our coworkers Christopher Saarinen & Evin Antoniadis. This thesis has resulted in both a guide and a working prototype that implement the basic elements of our coworkers’ design concept.</p> / Detta är ett projekt i två delar en teoretisk och en teknisk, den teoretiska är separat från denna och är skriven av Christopher Saarinen och Evin Antoniadis. / Simulerad interaktiv arbetsmiljö
