Article Synopsis
- Exergames like Nintendo Wii Fit™ U rowing may encourage physical activity and benefit cardiovascular health, particularly among youth, but less is known about their effects on elite athletes compared to actual sports.
- On two separate days, elite rowing athletes performed authentic rowing and played rowing exergames, with measurements taken for oxygen consumption, heart rate, perceived exertion, and muscle soreness.
- Results showed that while heart rate and perceived exertion were lower in exergames compared to authentic rowing, elite athletes did not achieve maximum physiological responses during exergames, indicating that while fun, exergames may not fully replicate the benefits of real rowing.
