A recent post on the “Using Technology for Fitness and Motivation” blog lists some top misconceptions about exergaming that the author hears time and time again. Along with the misconceptions, he also provides a reason why the misconception is false. The author further purposes that the way to solve these misconceptions and bust these myths is though diversity in research. He says “it's up to the research community to research what exergames are out there and consider how they can be studied to provide policy makers with better information.” I would have to agree with him on this point; I think this is what we all trying to do.
