Abstract

Pozadina. Napredak digitalne tehnologije doveo je do razvoja aktivnih videoigara (AVG) koje svoj vrhunac pronalaze u tehnologiji virtualne stvarnosti (VR). Cilj. Budući da AVG-ovi potiču korisnika na fizičku pokretljivost, cilj ovog rada bio je ispitati je li ta pokretljivost dovoljna kako bi se zadovoljile propisane smjernice za potrebnu količinu tjelesne aktivnosti (TA). Metoda. Proveden je sustavni pregled literature u kojeg je uključeno 12 primarnih istraživanja koja su zadovoljila postavljene kriterije. Također, provedene su dvije meta-analize od kojih je prva uključila 6, a druga 4 istraživanja. Rezultati. Meta-analizama je dokazano kako se aktivnost unutar VR-a ne razlikuje od tradicionalnog načina vježbanja. Također je dokazano da postoji značajna razlika između aktivnih i pasivnih videoigara, gdje je ukupna veličina učinka (SDM – standardizirana razlika aritmetičkih sredina) iznosila 2,33 u korist AVG-ova. Sustavnim pregledom se iz uključenih istraživanja ekstrahirala varijabla razine TA koja se uspoređivala s propisanim smjernicama, pri čemu je većina istraživanja pokazala učinkovitost u postizanju ciljanog radnog intenziteta. Također, gotovo su sva istraživanja pokazala da ispitanici više uživaju igrajući VR igre nego tradicionalno vježbajući te imaju slabiju percepciju intenziteta i umora. Zaključak. Kako bi se u potpunosti zadovoljile zdravstvene smjernice, potrebno je barem dvostruko više vremena (300 min/tjedno) provesti igrajući AVG-ove od propisanog minimalnog vremena umjerene TA (150 min/tjedno). Preporučuje se korištenje AVG-ova kao dodatak tradicionalnom načinu vježbanja, jer isključivo oslanjanje na VR bez šireg poznavanja i planiranja može uroditi nedovoljnom količinom TA. Zbog različitih unutrašnjih struktura AVG-ova od kojih samo neke stimuliraju dovoljnu razinu TA, potrebno je biti pažljiv pri odabiru.

Abstract (english)

Background. The advancement of digital technology has led to the development of active video games (AVGs), which find their peak in virtual reality (VR) technology. Objectives. Since AVGs force the user to be physically active, the aim of this study was to examine whether this activity is sufficient to meet the prescribed guidelines for the required amount of physical activity (TA). Methods. A systematic review was conducted that included 12 primary studies that met the set criteria. Also, two meta-analyses were conducted, the first of which included 6 and the second 4 studies. Results. Meta-analyses have proven that the activity within VR is no different from the traditional way of exercising. It was also proven that there is a significant difference between active and passive video games, where the total effect size (SDM – standardized mean difference) was 2,33 in favour of AVGs. The review extracted a TA level variable from the included studies that was compared with the prescribed guidelines, with most studies showing effectiveness in achieving the target work intensity. Also, almost all studies have shown that respondents enjoy playing VR games more than exercising traditionally and have a weaker perception of intensity and fatigue. Conclusion. To fully comply with health guidelines, it is necessary to spend at least twice as much time (300 min/week) playing AVGs as the prescribed minimum time of moderate TA (150 min/week). It is recommended to use AVGs as an addition to the traditional way of exercising, because relying solely on VR without extensive knowledge and planning can result in an insufficient amount of TA. Due to the different internal structures of AVGs, with only some of which stimulate a sufficient level of TA, it is necessary to be careful when choosing a desired AVG.
