Effects of the Nintendo Wii Fit Game Training on Balance

"Numerous video games exist to interact with the Wii Balance Board. One game that has been used in prior balance studies is Wii Fit.~On the first 4 weeks, balance training started with Soccer Heading game. The participants were asked to control their avatar by leaning to left or to the right in order to avoid the objects that were thrown towards them, and try to score the balls inside the net. The participants performed 3 sets of 5 rounds (2min each), totaling 30 min, and rested for 1 min between each set.~Table Tilt game continued for the remaining 4 weeks. Participants tried to enter balls into the holes by shifting their body weight on the balance board causing it to tilt in all directions. This game was divided into multiple levels of 30 seconds each, repeated over 30 min, with a one-minute rest interval between every 10 minutes of training. Moreover, 20 extra seconds were added each time a participant has won a level."
