Brief Summary

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak has not only changed the lifestyles of people globally but has also resulted in other challenges, such as the requirement of self-isolation and distance learning. The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in an inability to go out to exercise and a reduction in movement, so the demand for exercise at home has increased. To investigate the relationships between a Nintendo Ring Fit Adventure (RFA) intervention and improvements in running time, cardiac force index (CFI), centimeters per beat (CMPB), sleep quality, and mood disorders.

Conditions

  Investigators researched to use a 1600-meter running for testing.

  4 week

Study Arms (2)

Nintendo Ring Fit Adventure Exergame Group

EXPERIMENTAL

Participants in the RFA group were required to exercise for 30 minutes three times per week (in adventure mode) for 4 weeks. The initial exercise intensity was set according to the instructions given by the virtual coach during the first game and was gradually adjusted according to the game instructions. The research continued to track the RFA group subjects and continued to encourage the completion of 4 weeks of physical activity training.
