Aim: To analyze acute glycemic, cardiovascular variables, and level of enjoyment (LE) in response to active video games (AVG) in adults.
Methods: Fourteen adults performed a 30-minute AVG session. Heart rate (HR), systolic (SBP) and diastolic (DBP) blood pressure, double product (DP) and blood glucose (BG) were recorded at rest, immediately after and at 30 minutes after AVG session. At the end of the session, participants reported the rating of perceived exertion (RPE, 6-20 scale) and LE (0-10 scale).
Results: Participants reached 55.5% HR reserve with high RPE (Mean=15). BG decreased (−10.3 mg·dL−1), and HR (+85 bpm), SBP (+23.8 mm Hg) and DP (+12852 mm Hg × bpm) increased immediately after the session and returned to resting levels after 30 minutes. DBP did not present statiscal changes over time. High LE levels were found (Mean=8.6).
Conclusion: A 30-minute AVG session at moderate-intensity was very enjoyable, effective in reducing blood glucose levels acutely and promote safe cardiovascular acute changes in adults.
