Summary

Aims: Investigating the efficacy of resistive action video games on functional fitness (FF) of disabled workers in sheltered workshops (DWSWs).

Methods: Thirty-two DWSWs participated in this study and were allocated as either experimental group (EG) or control group (CG). DWSWs in EG underwent three 60-minute sessions each week for 12 weeks; those in CG maintained daily routine. The outcomes included all components FF and were measures at pre-, mid- and post-training.

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Training program incorporating video aerobic exercise, action video game and resistive action video game

Participants in the experimental group participated in three 60-minute training sessions each week for 12 weeks. One of the session was group training. The other two session were individual training. In the group training session, the participants participate in the video aerobic exercise; in the individual sessions, the participants play action and resistive action video games: Fitness Boxing 2 and Adventure Ring-Fit. All participants in the experimental group wore a hear rate monitoring watch so that the researchers make sure that medium level of physical activities was achieved in each session.
