Patricio DS, Aires YR, Medeiros CM. Gamification: A Tool to Increase the Frequency of Physical Activity in Overweight Adolescents. JEPonline 2020;23(3):13-24. The purpose of this study was to construct and test a Gamification protocol to increase the frequency of physical activity, through the active video game, in overweight adolescents in school settings. It is a randomized intervention study with two comparison groups: (a) Control Group; and (b) Experimental Group. The Experimental Group used games from the category video game or exergames + a gamified protocol through an application while the Control Group used an active video game. An integrated review was performed using a systematization in game specialized sites for the selection of games (exergames) applied to the intervention. Two schools were selected with a high prevalence of overweight and obesity in the municipality. A random lottery was made to define the school that would be the Control Group and the Experimental Group. The subjects consisted of 65 adolescents aged 15 to 19 yrs of which 37 were in the Experimental Group and 28 were in the Control Group. The intervention with gamification was associated to a higher frequency of adolescents to physical exercise. Adherence of adolescents to physical exercise is not an association with the initial nutritional status, but was associated with the type of intervention. Gamification proved effective in relation to the increased adherence in adolescent participants in weight loss programs. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
