Efficacy of exergaming dance and aerobic dance on young adults’ enjoyment, situational motivation, self-efficacy, and steps

These findings suggest that exergaming dance may enhance perceived enjoyment and intrinsic motivation, leading to more time spent on exercise or physical activity, though it results in fewer steps per minute than traditional aerobic dance. These results are practically relevant for promoting long-term physical activity through game-like exercises, as higher enjoyment and motivation play a crucial role in maintaining physical activity.
