Exergames Enjoyment and Awareness of Their Use for Physical Activity and Health Among Young Adults

Poland227 participantsStarted 2024-01-15

Plain-language summary

The goal of this observational, non-interventional study is to explore how different exergame devices are perceived by young adults in terms of enjoyment and awareness of their potential use for physical activity and health improvement. Participants are exposed to several commercially available exergame systems in a standardized laboratory setting, with no intention to modify their health, fitness, or behavior. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Do different exergame devices provide different levels of enjoyment (as measured by the Exergame Enjoyment Questionnaire)? * How do young adults perceive the usefulness of various exergames for supporting physical activity and health? Participants will: * Complete a brief questionnaire on physical activity habits. * Take part in short (about 10 minutes each) exposure sessions using different exergame devices (VR, Wii Fit, Dance platform, Ring Fit) - approximately 50 minutes in total per participant. * Be randomly assigned to complete post-exposure questionnaires referring to one randomly selected device only. No interventions are applied and no pre-post measurements are collected; the study is purely observational, focusing on subjective user experience rather than behavioral or physiological change.

Questions worth asking your doctor

Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.

1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.

Questions for the trial coordinator

The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.

1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?

A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
