According to Karen Collins, M.S., R.D., C.D.N., moderate physical activity feels like you are exerting yourself 5 or 6 on a scale of 0 to 10, and playing video games that involve movement and increase a player’s heart rate and breathing noticeably would be considered moderate physical activity.
Though the results are mixed, a few studies suggest that games such as Wii boxing and Dance Dance Revolution played at skill level 2 do involve moderate activity. Others, such as Wii bowling and golf and Dance Dance Revolution played at the lowest skill level involve lower levels of activity, but are clearly a step up from the more sedentary activity of watching television or playing a video game using only our thumbs while relaxing on a couch.
