Design implications for exergames with moderate activity to improve inter-joint angle for older adults

Abstract

Older adults global population has increased over the years. Several challenges have been identified with the increase of this sector of the world population. The World Health Organization encourages physical activation programs as a main form to promote Healthy ageing. Within HCI, exergames have been evaluated as an alternative to engage older adults in physical activation. In this paper we present a set of design implications for exergames to improve inter-joint angle for older adults, and one exergame that follows these implications.
