Losing weight training with the Wii balance board or a playstation move is difficult, at least this is what Wagner says Dale, a professor of medicine at the University of Utah. The American scholar has examined the effects of practiced at home, to the sound of motion controllers, and found that for those who want to lose weight, the way of interactive video games do not lead anywhere, or almost.
The American teacher admits that these games are designed to engage in exercise interesting - why be such as to recognize the position taken by people during training and report any errors - however, the researcher points out that, on the other side of the heart rate, results obtained are very scarce.
Why are these games so the heart rate increase, but the benefits they bring to this effect are still minors and modest compared to those provided by traditional activities. But then it would be useless to train with video games? Not really. Of this we spoke with Alberto Sabbioni, personal trainer at Virgin Active in Milan.
"For one thing, work out a little 'is better than not doing it for nothing. So, if you do not have the opportunity to play sports in the traditional sense, keep moving through interactive console is better, because it represents an alternative to total inactivity. " We talk about the results: train with interactive games helps you lose weight or not? "I would say to approach the subject more broadly and to remember that weight loss need to act on several fronts: that of sport, of course, but also the food.
And sometimes even that hormonal (in some cases it is good to also consult endocrinologists, to understand how it works and how your metabolism). Therefore, I would put the question in another way: it is an illusion to think to lose weight by relying "exclusively" Wii Fit & Company. On the other hand, you can lose pounds training with video games when this activity is part of a program to get back into shape more comprehensive and complete.
" What is the difference between a training run with balance board and move a playstation or traditional? "The degree of" customization "of training: as these new video games are well structured and equipped with complete programs and such as to involve all the muscles, not never reach 100% to take account of the individual and their characteristics, needs or problems.
And when it escapes some detail, completeness or effectiveness of a workout should be to diminish. An example of all? Those who have experienced trauma or micro-trauma to train in a certain way and be careful with certain muscles here, of "shades" as these games do not take into account ".
The good news, though, is that training at home with video games can bring to the sport or bringing a lot of lazy people, or with little time available. "I would say, rather, that what approaches or reconciles the sport is the motivation and the latter is given by the fun and pleasure associated with a certain kind of sport and to a certain mode of training.
And personal tastes come into play here. Certainly, work against their means become irregular and when the frequency falls, the results are compromised. At home as in the gym or outdoors. "
