Health Games Field Trial

There were 4 arms to the intervention in the field trial of this study. Participants were randomized to one of 4 arms or exergame that were manufactured by SSD/Xavix (Shiseido Co. of Japan). Each exergame consisted of a game cartridge, the XavixPort, and game controllers (e.g., tennis racquets, boxing gloves, bowling ball, or floor mat). The XavixPort interfaces the exergame with the participant's television and contains the infrared sensors that track the movement of the game controllers. Each exergame cartridge includes multiple game modes. The four arms/exergames were: XaviX Tennis, The Jackie Chan Studio Fitness (J-MAT), XaviX Bowling, and XaviX Boxing.
