The Effect of Interactive Simulations on Exercise Adherence with Overweight and Obese Adults

Abstract

This project was designed to evaluate the effect of video game play on exercise motivation, self-efficacy, and adherence in overweight and obese adults. A prototype stationary exercise bicycle that integrated video game play capabilities was developed and tested. Due to many developments, in late 2010, a new Principal Investigator (MAJ (P) Melba C. Stetz, Ph.D.) took over this project. After properly identifying and complying with all the modifications suggested by the local Scientific Review Committee, the local Human Use Committee, and the Medical Research and Materiel Command, she obtained the Start Letter from her local IRB on 20 DEC 2011.
