Movement characteristics during customized exergames after total knee replacement in older adults
2022
Introduction: There is limited understanding of how older adults can reach kinematic goals in rehabilitation while performing exergames and conventional exercises, and how similar or different the kinematics during exergaming are when compared with conventional therapeutic exercise with similar movement. The aim of this study was to describe the movement characteristics performed during exercise in custom-designed exergames and conventional therapeutic exercises among patients who have undergone unilateral total knee replacement (TKR). In addition, the secondary aim was to assess the relation of these exercise methods, and to assess participants' perceived exertion and knee pain during exer…
The feasibility and possible benefits of indoor exergames in primary school
2017
The purpose of this study is to identify the potential contribution of exergames to Primary schoolers, to define what exergames are and to classify them, as well as whether exergames could be an effective tool in physical education lessons from the point of view of students. Can exergames work as a spark to turn on the engine of physical activity practice? Will students acquire or even develop any motor skills by playing exergames that can be transferred into classical physical activities? The study was conducted with eight students of 6th grade in a Primary school in Finland. Students were selected randomly without asking prerequisites or gaming background. During spring season the group p…
Role of situational context in use continuance after critical exergaming incidents
2019
Use continuance is crucial in terms of information systems (IS) success. Previous research has shown that situational context can be central for IS use continuance but has paid limited attention to its specific characteristics. Furthermore, the link between situational context and use continuance has remained unexplored in the novel area of “exergames,” which are defined as digital games requiring physical effort from the player that determines the outcome of the game. Studying exergames is deemed important due to their potential in providing health benefits for users, revenues for providers, and well‐being for societies. However, their potential remains unreached because users tend to disc…
Skolotāju pieredze izglītojošo spēļu izmantošanā angļu valodas apguvē sākumskolā (1.-4.klase)
2016
Maģistra darba mērķis ir izzināt skolotāju pieredzi izglītojošo spēļu izmantošanā angļu valodas stundās sākumskolā. Darba autore pētījusi dažādus izglītojošo spēļu aspektus, tādējādi akcentējot to lomu. Darba autore uzskata, ka izglītojošās spēles ne tikai nodrošina nesaspringtu mācīšanās vidi, bet to galvenais uzdevums ir veidot sadarbības pieredzi, kas veidojas vai nu paužot pretēju nostāju vai savstarpēji vienojoties, cenšoties sasniegt konkrētu rezultātu. Tādējādi skolēni var apgūt jaunus jēdzienus un vienlaicīgi attīstīt arī sociālās prasmes. Tas stiprina viņu paļaušanos vienam uz otru un veido noturīgākas attiecības ar vienaudžiem. Pētījuma datu tika iegūšanai tika izmantotas padziļin…

Pelaa ja opi : räätälöityjä verkkopelejä ammatilliseen oppimiseen
2007
Yhä useammalle ammatillisen koulutuksen oppijalle erilaiset virtuaaliset toiminta- ja peliympäristöt ovat keskeinen osa arkipäivää. Työelämässä puolestaan on asioita, joiden etukäteisharjoittelu on vaikeaa, kallista ja jopa vaarallista. Virtuaaliset peliympäristöt voivat tarjota ratkaisun tähän ongelmaan. Tutkimukset osoittavat, että parhaimmillaan pelit voivat parantaa oppimisen laatua ja tehostaa toimintaa, luoda kiinnostavia oppimistilanteita, auttaa sitoutumaan tehtävien suorittamiseen, ohjata käyttäytymistä ja ongelmanratkaisua sekä edistää yhdessä toimimisen taitoja. Lisäksi virtuaalimaailmassa pelaamisen avulla voidaan havainnollistaa vaarallisia tai pitkäkestoisia tilanteita sekä au…
Opinion dynamics, stubbornness and mean-field games
2014
This paper studies opinion dynamics and stubbornness using mean-field game theory. Assuming an initial exponential density function and affine control policies we analyze under what conditions the Fokker-Planck equation returns an exponential density function over the horizon. Consensus and clusters formation are also studied.
