What is Exergame Development Using Body Composition Data for Obesity Care about?

This study proposes an exergame for personal obesity management. This project called H-Run is implemented with a focus on exercise inducement for obese people. In this study, we particularly focus on aerobic exercises among the many obesity management exercise methods and develop them for enjoyment indoors. H-Run generates an avatar in the game by using the player's body composition data. Using the avatar reflecting his/her body type information, the player runs around the in-game spaces constructed on the basis of the actual environment. After finishing the game, the player can check the result of his/her actual exercises, and in the long term, the player can identify the body shape changes identical to those in the real environment. A pilot study showed that our H-Run game can potentially induce the players to exercise.
