- W642006220 abstract "This study explores potential of use of step-based exergames in balance training for senior citizens. Three exergames were tested and evaluated by healthy senior citizens to provide a basis for further development and use of these types of exergames.newline Three mini games were chosen for evaluation; SilverFit and the Mole mini game, Your Shape and Light Race mini game, and a modified version of Dance Dance Revolution for PC. The reason for choice of exergames to be evaluated, was that all of three games require player to perform a step-based movement that can potentially improve player's balance. To collect data to evaluate these exergames, there were two main phases of research conducted. Firstly, 14 individual sessions of usability tests were conducted with senior citizens. Secondly, a focus group session with domain experts in human movement science was held. newline The aim of first phase was to evaluate which of these three selected exergames, was most preferred by senior user-group and what game elements that contributed positively and negatively to seniors' motivational factors and preference of game. The aim of second phase was to explore aspect of success-factors and requirements that exists for use of exergames in balance-training from domain experts' point of view.newline In usability tests that were conducted, 14 healthy senior citizens each played three selected games in a balanced order, and was asked to give their opinions and preferences afterwards. A card-ranking session and System Usability Scale forms filled out after every game-play showed that it was SilverFit game that was most preferred game by seniors. The seniors were also asked what elements that they found important in a game like this for them to take it into use. Through a qualitative analysis of data form usability tests, it was found that a challenging of level of difficulty, mastery of game aims, high-scores and progression, entertaining concept, and multi-player functionality are game elements that are important factors if senior citizens are going to use exergames at a regular basis.newline After conducting all usability tests, one focus group session was held with two domain experts in field of human movement science. These experts established that success criteria for use of exergames in balance training with seniors are fun, safety, shifting of bodyweight, independent use, full-body movement and challenging game-play. SilverFit: the Mole, Your Shape: Light Race, and a modified version of Dance Dance Revolution were all evaluated on basis of recordings from usability tests. In terms of criteria established, experts found that SilverFit was most suitable game, although not optimal, due to lack of progression in game.newline After conducting two phases of research and data collection, it can be concluded from this study that new exergames need to be developed specifically intended for regular balance-training for senior citizens." @default.
