Development of an Exergame to Deliver a Sustained Dose of High-Intensity Training
Males from areas of social deprivation within the town of Middlesbrough (UK) were targetted and recruited on to a high-intensity, exergaming intervention over a 6-week period. Eligible participants were randomly allocated to an intervention group (weekly exergaming) or control group (normal habitual lifestyle). All participants completed baseline (week 0) and follow-up (week 7) measures of metabolic health. Participants in the intervention group were invited to three sessions a week of high-intensity exergaming performed against their peers on a developed boxing game.
