Do you often face a difficult time prying your children away from video screens and getting them outdoors
for some good old-fashioned exercise? Today, you might not have to. Exergaming, a combination of video
games and physical movement, is becoming a hot fitness trend all over the world.

Exergaming was popularised in recent years by the Nintendo Wii. This game system allows players virtual
participation in sports like baseball, tennis, and bowling. But the roots of exergaming extend into the 1980s.
The first exergaming device, Computrainer, led stationary bike riders on a trip through a virtual landscape.
Similar 'virtual reality' systems followed, but they proved too expensive and complicated for the average
person.
In 1998, Konami's fun and affordable Dance Dance Revolution brought exergaming into the mainstream.
Players stand on a platform and tap coloured arrows with their feet in tune to musical and video cues.
Today, fitness clubs, schools, and community centres throughout America offer exergaming machines. Some
schools even substitute exergaming workouts for traditional PE classes. Though parents are happy to see their
children exercising, many still worry.
Exergames burn calories, raise heartbeats, and offer a physical benefit for kids,' said Lisa Hanson, co-
director of a Florida research laboratory. But she added that it is certain that active gaming doesn't offer the
same benefits as traditional workouts. A British study found that many Wii games, for example, don't provide
intense enough exercise.
