Brief Summary

The present study aims to examine the effects of Xbox Kinect exercise training program on the sleep quality, anxiety and functional capacity in older adults. Older adults were randomized into two groups. The XBOX group performed exercise with Xbox Kinect during 60 min, three times/week for 6 weeks. The CONTROL group did not exercise. Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index was used to evaluate sleep quality, anxiety symptoms by the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory, and the functional capacity was analyzed using following tests: Chair Stand Test, 8-Foot Up and Go Test, and 6-min Walk Test.

Group Type: NO_INTERVENTION

No interventions assigned to this group

XBOX group

The XBOX group performed exercise for 60 min, three times/week, for 6 weeks, using the Xbox Kinect game "Your Shape Fitness evolved". This game was chosen because it simulates an environment with a variety of physical activities, in which the majority can be practiced by older adults. The activities were carried out individually. The game activities selected for the physical activity sessions were: 1) Zen-Develop it (stretching, balance and flexibility activities, similar to Yoga); 2) Pump it (to fill balls until they burst); 3) Wall Breaker (to break blocks, similar to boxing); 4) Kick it (soccer activity); 5) Hurricane (to lift the balls off the floor and not let them fall); 6) Stack in Up (balance activity).
