This "eye-opener" review briefly surveys the current Kinect exergame titles for the Xbox 360 (Microsoft, Redmond, WA) (up to July 2012), focusing on possible uses by different age groups, from kids to older people, for improving players' physical, mental/cognitive, and psychological/emotional health and fitness. A quick survey of existing related research is also provided, and links are made to it. There are already many published studies about digital exergames in general, but very little about Kinect exergames. More research is needed to establish the evidence base concerning the latter (e.g., in relation to obesity management [pediatric and adult] or cognitive state improvement in older people, etc.): What works in each condition, what does not, and under which settings and criteria.
这篇“启发性”的综述简要地考察了截至 2012 年 7 月，Xbox 360 版 Kinect 健身游戏（微软，雷蒙德，华盛顿州）的现有游戏，重点关注不同年龄段的人群（从儿童到老年人）使用这些游戏来提高身体素质、脑力/认知能力和心理/情绪健康和健身的可能性。此外，本文还对现有相关研究进行了快速调查，并提供了链接。目前已经有很多关于数字健身游戏的研究，但关于 Kinect 健身游戏的研究却很少。需要进行更多的研究来建立后者的证据基础（例如，与肥胖管理[儿科和成人]或老年人认知状态改善等方面）：在每种情况下什么有效，什么无效，以及在哪些条件和标准下有效。
