However, many active games are exercise themed, which may interfere with the distracting properties that make game-based exercise more enjoyable than traditional exercise. This study compared exercise-themed and game-themed active games to investigate differences in energy expenditure and enjoyment.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Method:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Young adults ( N = 100, 50 female, 55 overweight, aged 18\u201335 years) played two of four Wii Fit games (one aerobic game and one balance game per person) for 10 min each. Of the two aerobic games, one was exercise themed (jogging) and the other was game themed (hula hooping). Both balance games were game themed.

In aerobic games, jogging produced greater energy expenditure than hula hooping in normal-weight and male participants ( p &lt; .001); in overweight and female participants, no differences were found ( p &gt; .17). Hula hooping was enjoyed more than jogging ( p = .008). Enjoyment predicted energy expenditure in aerobic games ( B = 0.767, p = .010).\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Aerobic games produced greater energy expenditure but lower enjoyment than balance games, and a game-themed aerobic game was found more enjoyable than an exercise-themed aerobic game.
