Title: Comparing exergames and aerobic exercise: Evaluation of the effects on emotions and executive functions

Abstract: The study presented aims to investigate the impact of a balance training conducted by exergames on some domains of a cognitive and affective nature, in a sample of university students (average age 28 ± 6). In this sense, executive functions, selective attention and subjective emotional state were evaluated. These constructs were chosen because of their centrality in fostering learning processes. The effects of exergaming were compared with those obtained through aerobic training of the same duration (20 min). The results showed a similar impact of the two types of training on the cognitive domains under analysis, while a statistically difference was observed with respect to higher levels of dominance (<0.05) in the post-test exergames measured. through the SAM (Self-Assessment Manikin). The research carried out has allowed to highlight the opportunity to use these tools in the implementation of positive affectivity in young adults. On the basis of the results obtained, it is therefore possible to set future research directions relating to the study of the effects of exergames on constructs related to the dominance, such as self-esteem and self-efficacy and the relationship of these with high-level cognitive functions, whose integration is necessary for the structuring of learning programs in different training contexts.

Title: Confronto tra exergames ed esercizio aerobico: Valutazione degli effetti sulle emozioni e le funzioni esecutive

Abstract: Lo studio presentato ha la finalità di indagare l'impatto di un training dell'equilibrio condotto mediante exergames su alcuni domini di natura cognitiva e affettiva in un campione di studentesse universitarie (età media 28± 6). In tal senso, sono state valutate le funzioni esecutive, l'attenzione selettiva e lo stato emotivo soggettivo. Tali costrutti sono stati scelti per la loro centralità nel favorire i processi di apprendimento. Gli effetti del training mediante exergaming sono stati confrontati con quelli ottenuti attraverso un allenamento aerobico di pari durata (20 min). I risultati ottenuti hanno mostrato un impatto similare delle due tipologie di allenamento sui domini cognitivi in analisi, mentre è stata osservata una differenza statisticamente significativa rispetto a più alti livelli di percezione del controllo (< 0,05) nel post-prova exergames misurato attraverso il SAM (Self Assessment Manikin). La ricerca condotta ha permesso di fornire un'evidenza sull'opportunità di utilizzare questi strumenti nell'implementazione dell'affettività positiva nei giovani adulti. Sulla base dei risultati ottenuti è, quindi, possibile impostare direzioni di indagine future relative allo studio degli effetti degli exergames su costrutti correlati alla percezione di controllo, come l'autostima e l'autoefficacia e la relazione di questi con funzioni cognitive di alto livello, la cui integrazione è necessaria per la strutturazione di programmi di apprendimento in diversi contesti formativi.

Title: Comparaison des exergames et de l'exercice aérobie: évaluation des effets sur les émotions et les fonctions exécutives

Abstract: L'étude présentée vise à étudier l'impact d'une formation d'équilibre menée par des exergames sur certains domaines de nature cognitive et affective, dans un échantillon d'étudiants universitaires (âge moyen de 28 ± 6).En ce sens, les fonctions exécutives, l'attention sélective et l'état émotionnel subjectif ont été évalués.Ces constructions ont été choisies en raison de leur centralité dans la promotion des processus d'apprentissage.Les effets de l'exergaming ont été comparés à ceux obtenus par formation aérobie de la même durée (20 min).Les résultats ont montré un impact similaire des deux types de formation sur les domaines cognitifs en analyse, tandis qu'une différence statistique a été observée en ce qui concerne les niveaux de domination plus élevés (& lt; 0,05) dans les exergames post-test mesurés.à travers le Sam (Manikin d'auto-évaluation).La recherche effectuée a permis de mettre en évidence l'opportunité d'utiliser ces outils dans la mise en œuvre d'une affectivité positive chez les jeunes adultes.Sur la base des résultats obtenus, il est donc possible de définir de futures orientations de recherche relatives à l'étude des effets des exergames sur les constructions liées à la domination, telles que l'estime de soi et l'auto-efficacité et la relation de ceux-ci avec des fonctions cognitives de haut niveau, dont l'intégration est nécessaire pour la structuration des programmes d'apprentissage dans différents contextes de formation.
