Study by Southeastern Louisiana University
The Wii Fit is a form of interactive gaming designed to elicit health and fitness benefits to replace sedentary gaming.
The purpose of the study was to determine the VO2 max and energy expenditure from different Wii Fit games at different levels including the step and hula games.
A recent trend has been to develop new video games that incorporate physical activity into gaming, rather than relying on traditional sedentary gaming activity.
Data from this study suggest that this form of active video gaming (step and hula) can be used as an mode of physical activity to improve health but that users should strive to participate at higher modes of exercise to improve their health and fitness
