“Active games are technology driven activities that require participants to engage in physical movement in order to play the games. A noteworthy aspect of active gaming is that participants do not realize they are exercising; they think they are simply playing video games and having fun. It is desirable to examine and understand the experiences and health benefits for both children and adults while participating in active gaming.”
(Hansen & Sanders, 2008)
Your body is made to MOVE!
Your bones are put together in a way that allows you to run, jump, lift, throw, squeeze, push, pull, stand, sit, and do many other movements.
Your muscles are arranged so that they can move the bones that allow you to, run, jump, lift, throw, squeeze, push, pull, stand, sit, etc.
Your heart, lungs and circulatory system provide the blood flow that supports the muscular activity.
Congratulations to USF junior physical education majors who currently lead majors from Missouri State University in the PE Central Challenge Hike.
