ConclusionExergaming can increase energy expenditure to a level that is considered at least moderate intensity.The level of energy expenditure varies, with boxing related games tending to increase energy expenditure the most.Long term efficacy of exergames to reduce the prevalence of obesity still remains to be seenThe continual development of new exciting games that increase energy expenditure is crucial if exergaming will have any long term impacts.
