Effects of Competitive Exergaming–Based Esports on Older Adults in Hong Kong: Nonrandomized Controlled Pilot Study
Competitive exergaming was feasible and produced small to moderate improvements in lower-body strength, aerobic endurance, and enjoyment of PA. Cognitive effects were inconclusive and should not be overinterpreted given the nonrandomized design, passive control, small sample, and multiple outcomes. Future randomized trials with active comparators and longer duration are warranted.
