TI  - The heart rate response to nintendo wii boxing in young adults.
PG  - 13-29
AB  - PURPOSE: To determine if 30 minutes of Nintendo Wii Sports boxing provides 
      cardiorespiratory benefits and contributes to the daily exercise recommendations 
      for healthy young adults. METHODS: Twenty healthy 23- to 27-year-olds 
      participated in two sessions to measure maximum heart rate (HR(max)) via a 
      treadmill test and heart rate (HR) response to 30 minutes of Wii Sports boxing. 
      Heart rate in beats per minute (bpm) was measured continuously, and exercise 
      intensity during each minute of play was stratified as a percentage of HR(max). 
      Mixed designs analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Pearson product moment 
      correlations were used to analyze the data. RESULTS: Mean (SD) HR response to 
      boxing was 143 (15) bpm or 77.5% (10.0%) of HR(max). The mean HR response for 
      experienced participants was significantly lower than inexperienced participants, 
      P = .007. The ANOVA revealed a significant interaction between experience and 
      time spent at various intensities, P = .009. Experienced participants spent more 
      time in light to vigorous intensities, inexperienced participants in moderate to 
      very hard intensities. Fitness was not correlated with mean HR response to 
      boxing, P = .49. CONCLUSION: Thirty minutes of Nintendo Wii Sports boxing 
      provides a moderate to vigorous aerobic response in healthy young adults and can 
      contribute to daily recommendations for physical activity.
