          Abstract

          Ambientes virtuais de aprendizagem estão se difundindo nas diversas áreas do conhecimento e as chamadas Tecnologias da Informação e Comunicação na Educação estão proporcionando novas formas de ensino e aprendizagem. Games, por exemplo, estão sendo usados para trabalhar habilidades cognitivas, atenção visual, memória e resolução de problemas em crianças. Recentemente, devido à possibilidade de utilização, com baixo custo, de tecnologias de percepção e atuação, surge uma nova classe de games denominada Exergame, exercício e game, proporcionando ao usuário o desenvolvimento de habilidades sensoriais e motoras propiciado por mecanismos de realidade virtual. Esta pesquisa bibliográfica teve como objetivo estabelecer um panorama geral sobre o contexto atual dos Exergames, apresentando os games que existem no mercado, suas características, aplicações e possibilidades de uso na Educação Física. As pesquisas encontradas foram classificadas em três grupos: aspectos fisiológicos; aspectos psicológicos e reabilitação, conforme a utilização de cada game. Exergames podem ser utilizados como ambientes virtuais de aprendizagem de novos movimentos, gestos desportivos ou simplesmente como ferramenta para aumentar o gasto calórico; sua utilização está relacionada ao entretenimento e a formas alternativas de exercício físico e sua inclusão ou não no ambiente escolar limita-se à capacitação dos professores para utilização da ferramenta em questão. © Cien.

          Translated abstract

          Virtual learning environments are becoming popular in various areas of knowledge, where information and communication technologies are providing new ways of teaching and learning. Games, for example, are being used to improve cognitive, visual attention, memory, and problem solving skills in children. Recently, with the increase of accessibility of low cost technology in the areas of perception and action, comes a new class of games called Exergames. Through exercise and games, this virtual reality is providing the user with the opportunity to develop a variety of motor skills and sensory abilities. The research reveals that Exergames are categorized into three groups of purpose and usage: physiological, psychological, and rehabilitation. Exergames can also function as virtual learning environments for new movements and gestures, or for sports, such as in tools to increase caloric expenditure. They are also related to entertainment and alternative forms of exercise. Their inclusion in the school environment is limited to teacher training for the use of these tools. This literature review provides an examination of the current context of Exergames, including, recognizing games that are currently available on the market, and identifying features and applications that are being utilized in the area of Physical Education. © Cien.

            Use of a low-cost, commercially available gaming console (Wii) for rehabilitation of an adolescent with cerebral palsy.

            The purpose of this retrospective and prospective case report is to describe the feasibility and outcomes of using a low-cost, commercially available gaming system (Wii) to augment the rehabilitation of an adolescent with cerebral palsy. The patient was an adolescent with spastic diplegic cerebral palsy classified as GMFCS level III who was treated during a summer session in a school-based setting. The patient participated in 11 training sessions, 2 of which included other players. Sessions were between 60 and 90 minutes in duration. Training was performed using the Wii sports games software, including boxing, tennis, bowling, and golf. He trained in both standing and sitting positions. Three main outcome measures were used: (1) visual-perceptual processing, using a motor-free perceptual test (Test of Visual Perceptual Skills, third edition); (2) postural control, using weight distribution and sway measures; and (3) functional mobility, using gait distance. Improvements in visual-perceptual processing, postural control, and functional mobility were measured after training. The feasibility of using the system in the school-based setting during the summer session was supported. For this patient whose rehabilitation was augmented with the Wii, there were positive outcomes at the impairment and functional levels. Multiple hypotheses were proposed for the findings that may be the springboard for additional research. To the authors' knowledge, this is the first published report on using this particular low-cost, commercially available gaming technology for rehabilitation of a person with cerebral palsy.

              Energy expenditure of sedentary screen time compared with active screen time for children.

              We examined the effect of activity-enhancing screen devices on children's energy expenditure compared with performing the same activities while seated. Our hypothesis was that energy expenditure would be significantly greater when children played activity-promoting video games, compared with sedentary video games. Energy expenditure was measured for 25 children aged 8 to 12 years, 15 of whom were lean, while they were watching television seated, playing a traditional video game seated, watching television while walking on a treadmill at 1.5 miles per hour, and playing activity-promoting video games. Watching television and playing video games while seated increased energy expenditure by 20 +/- 13% and 22 +/- 12% above resting values, respectively. When subjects were walking on the treadmill and watching television, energy expenditure increased by 138 +/- 40% over resting values. For the activity-promoting video games, energy expenditure increased by 108 +/- 40% with the EyeToy (Sony Computer Entertainment) and by 172 +/- 68% with Dance Dance Revolution Ultramix 2 (Konami Digital Entertainment). Energy expenditure more than doubles when sedentary screen time is converted to active screen time. Such interventions might be considered for obesity prevention and treatment.
