: The present study aimed to synthesize the most updated literature regarding the casual evidence of the effects of active video games (AVGs) on fundamental motor skills (FMS; locomotor skills and object control skills) and physical fitness among healthy children. : Electronic databases were searched through October 2020. Peer-reviewed randomized control trials (RCTs) and quasi-experimental designs examining the effectiveness of AVGs on FMS and physical fitness development among healthy children (3-12 years) were screened. : A total of nine RCTs and one quasi-experimental study were included. Of the five studies examining the effect of AVGs on FMS, two reported significant improvements, while three reported no significant improvements in motor skills development as compared to control. Of the five studies assessing the effects of AVGs on physical fitness, four reported significant improvements in physical fitness such as balance, agility, and speed, whereas one reported significant improvements in skill-related executive function, but not in physical competence. : Overall, the current available evidence supports AVGs as an effective means to improve physical fitness, such as balance, postural stability, and agility, among healthy children. However, the findings of AVGs on healthy children's object control and locomotor skills remain inconclusive.
本研究旨在综合关于积极视频游戏(AVG)对健康儿童基本运动技能(FSMS;移动技能和物体控制技能)和身体素质影响的最新文献。通过 2020 年 10 月对电子数据库进行了检索。筛选了审查同行评审的随机对照试验(RCT)和准实验设计,以检查 AVG 在健康儿童(3-12 岁)的 FMS 和身体素质发展方面的有效性。共纳入了 9 项 RCT 和 1 项准实验研究。在五项研究中,有两项研究报告称,与对照组相比,AVG 对 FMS 的影响显著提高,而有三项研究报告称,运动技能发展没有显著提高。在五项评估 AVG 对身体素质影响的研究中,有四项研究报告称,平衡、敏捷和速度等身体素质有显著提高,而一项研究报告称,技能相关的执行功能有显著提高,但身体素质没有提高。总的来说,目前的证据支持 AVG 作为一种有效的手段,可以提高健康儿童的身体素质,如平衡、姿势稳定性和敏捷性。然而,AVG 对健康儿童的物体控制和运动技能的影响仍不确定。
