Currently Exergaming (e.g., Wii) has been widely used in schools and communities as an innovative and fun solution to promoting a healthy lifestyle and fighting childhood obesity. This symposium is to explore the impacts of different Exergaming methods on children’s psychosocial attributes, physical activity participation, and performance. It would lead to more research and practice to improve children’s experiences and responses to Exergaming while simultaneously helping them stay physically active and engage in health behaviors.
