The study determined whether an exergame training (EXT) resulted in greater improvements in health-related outcomes compared to traditional moderate-intensity continuous training (MICT).
In total, 47 individuals (age 30±11 years) were randomized into an EXT (n = 24) and an MICT group (n = 23). Throughout the eight-week intervention period, the EXT group attended 20-30 min of EXT three times a week while the MICT group completed 20-45 min of MICT three times a week. Before and after the intervention, BMI, waist-to-height ratio, body fat (BF), resting heart rate (HR), root mean square of successive differences between normal heartbeats (RMSSD), standard deviation of all normal-to-normal intervals (SDNN), average time interval between consecutive R-waves (MeanRR), high-frequency power, low-frequency power, ratio of LF to HF power, enjoyment, systolic (SBP) as well as diastolic blood pressure, and peak oxygen consumption (VOpeak) were compared using linear mixed models.
The analyses revealed main effects of time for BF, HR, RMSSD, SDNN, MeanRR, high-frequency power, and SBP (ps<.05). A main effect of group was found for enjoyment (p<.05) with higher values in the EXT group. Group-by-time interactions (ps<.05) were observed for HR, SBP, and VOpeak, indicating differential changes over time between groups. The EXT showed a steeper decline in HR and SBP compared to MICT, while demonstrating a greater increase in VOpeak.
The EXT was more effective than the MICT in improving VOpeak, HR, and SBP. The EXT seems to represent a more effective and more attractive alternative to MICT for health promotion.

本研究旨在确定与传统中等强度持续训练（MICT）相比，运动游戏训练（EXT）是否能在与健康相关的指标上带来更大改善。
总共47名个体（年龄30±11岁）被随机分为EXT组（n = 24）和MICT组（n = 23）。在为期八周的干预期内，EXT组每周进行三次20 - 30分钟的EXT训练，而MICT组每周完成三次20 - 45分钟的MICT训练。在干预前后，使用线性混合模型比较体重指数（BMI）、腰高比、体脂（BF）、静息心率（HR）、正常心跳间连续差值的均方根（RMSSD）、所有正常到正常间期的标准差（SDNN）、连续R波之间的平均时间间隔（MeanRR）、高频功率、低频功率、低频与高频功率之比、愉悦感、收缩压（SBP）以及舒张压，还有峰值耗氧量（VOpeak）。
分析显示，时间对BF、HR、RMSSD、SDNN、MeanRR、高频功率和SBP有主要影响（p <.05）。发现组间在愉悦感上有主要影响（p <.05），EXT组的值更高。观察到HR、SBP和VOpeak存在组×时间交互作用（p <.05），表明两组随时间的变化存在差异。与MICT相比，EXT组的HR和SBP下降更显著，同时VOpeak增加幅度更大。
EXT在改善VOpeak、HR和SBP方面比MICT更有效。对于健康促进而言，EXT似乎是比MICT更有效且更具吸引力的选择。
