Summary

This study tested whether using a Kinect motion-sensing video game for aerobic exercise helps pre-frail older adults (age 60+) improve their physical fitness and quality of life. 64 community-dwelling participants did either Kinect-based or traditional exercise. The Kinect group showed better results in fitness measures like walking and strength, and reported higher exercise enthusiasm.
