![The effect of group and time on
average minutes per day
≒ aThere was a significant week effect for
sedentary minutes[F=26.31, p<.0001]. The week
effect indicates that Week 6 was significantly
different from baseline, Week 1, Week 7 and
Week 12. Sedentary minutes at Week 6 were
higher than at baseline, Week 1, Week 7 and
Week 12.

- 2. Substantial interest in Exergames - Active Video Games ≒ Almost more reviews than there are original articles ≒ Can they increase PA? ≒ Do they increase PA at home under naturalistic circumstances? For how long? ≒ Do they increase PA in unsafe neighborhoods? Pediatrics Games for Health Wednesday, May 18, 2011 5:30-足6:00 PM
- 3. Can they increase PA? (Exercise Physiology) ≒ The motivated right person under the right circumstances for a sufficient duration can get: -足 A moderate work out: ≒ DDR ≒ Wii -足 A vigorous work out: ≒ DDR ≒ Wii Pediatrics Games for Health Wednesday, May 18, 2011 5:30-足6:00 PM
- 4. Do they increase PA at home under naturalistic circumstances? For how long? ≒ Controversy on this point ≒ Most studies -足 Not experimental -足 Did not use objective monitors Pediatrics Games for Health Wednesday, May 18, 2011 5:30-足6:00 PM
- 5. Do they increase PA in unsafe neighborhoods under naturalistic circumstances? (when children are not allowed outside to play) Pediatrics Games for Health Wednesday, May 18, 2011 5:30-足6:00 PM
- 6. Hypotheses ≒ Children receiving their first active Wii games will have more of an increase in minutes of moderate to vigorous physical activity per day after playing each game and the increase will be cumulative over time (more after one game, and even more after two games) ≒ During the time playing the games (active games by the active group, inactive games by the inactive group), the group assigned the active games will get more PA during game play than the group playing inactive games ≒ The effects of these games will be moderated by the perceived safety of neighborhood (unsafe neighborhoods getting more PA) Pediatrics Games for Health Wednesday, May 18, 2011 5:30-足6:00 PM

- 18. Conclusions ≒ Children obtaining Wii console and two active Wii video games did not participate in increased PA over those receiving two inactive Wii video games ≒ Children receiving the active Wii games and living in an unsafe neighborhood did not participate in increased PA over those in safe neighborhoods ≒ What could be done with active video games to increase the level of PA?
