Abstract:
With the aging population in China,health issues among the elderly are becoming increasingly prominent,leading to a rapidly growing demand for health interventions for the elderly.Exergames are one of the important emerging methods in the field of health interventions for the elderly,widely used and yielding positive results.While research on exergames is well-established abroad,it is still in its infancy in China,lacking reports on the types,interaction forms,intervention content,application status,and effectiveness of exergames.Exergames are suitable for widespread use among the elderly in China,and there is a need to accelerate the development and application of exergames in the field of health interventions for the elderly in China.
