ISSA (International Sports Sciences Association) har netop offentliggjort en undersøgelse omkring motion og computerspil og ikke overraskende bliver Nintendo Wii fremhævet som det “middel”, som kan kvikke de tidligere noget stillesiddende gamere lidt op. Det er Gamasutra som i dag bringer en artikel, hvor Dr. Josh Trout fra California State University (CSU) udtaler sig ganske favorabelt omkring den “nye trend i konsoller” som kræver lidt større armbevægelser end tidligere. Nichole Snow fra ISSA anbefaler tillige varmt Konamis Dance Dance Revolution. Kan i så komme i sving!


Nichole Snow, an ISSA Certified Personal Trainer and avid gamer, was one of the more in-depth respondents, advocating Konami’s Dance Dance Revolution along with her fellow trainers as “…definitely more of an aerobic game – I see kids all the time enjoying it and losing weight – I think they gain a lot of aerobic exercise without realizing it.”



She also noted of Nintendo’s new console: “The Nintendo Wii will show benefits for everyone. Whether you can sit down for the game or you have to be standing, it involves movement. The best part is its just fun – for everyone. Deconditioned and obese individuals will find it fun to play and gain aerobic movement out of the games. Seniors can enjoy gentle movements of bowling and golfing. Youth become a part of the game and don’t just turn into vegetables in front of the TV.”

  1. Computerspil involverer traditionelt masser af gentagne bevægelser. Nu på Wii’en stående, med nunchucks i hænderne, og uden den træning der følger med ‘traditionel sport’. Lyder som den sikre opskrift til at få overbelastningsskader på.
