Abstract
This study examined the effects of exergames have on the elderly's exercise intentions, and analyzed the difference between young-old and old-old cohorts. A three-week quasi-experiment (N=24) was conducted. Results of a two-way ANOVA showed a significant positive change in exercise intentions among the young-old after playing exergames, whereas exercise intentions among the old-old remained unchanged. Another two-way ANOVA showed little significant interaction effects between exergames and gender. The paper further discussed the design implications and appropriate interventions which promote active ageing via exergames for the young-old and old-old cohorts.
