CAVANHI, Allana Carla; VAGHETTI, César Augusto Otero  e  DEL VECCHIO, Fabricio Boscolo. Effect of the inclusion of exergames in physical education classes on motor coordination of healthy children. Rev. psicopedag. [online]. 2020, vol.37, n.112, pp. 29-36. ISSN 0103-8486.  http://dx.doi.org/10.5935/0103-8486.20200001.

This study aimed to quantify the effects of exergames (Xbox 360- Kinect Adventure) in physical education classes on motor coordination in students from initial series. For this, two groups, the experimental group (n=14) which practiced for eight weeks, and control group (n=17) were composed of children from both genre between 8 and 10 years old. The Body Coordination Test for Children (Körperkoordinationstest für Kinder, KTK) battery was used as a measurement instrument. The experimental group performed Physical Education classes using Kinect Adventure, and the control group performed activities without it. The results suggest that the use of exergames in physical education classes can positively modify the general motor coordination of young students.
