Exergame
Also known as: Exercise game, Active video game, Fitness game
A video game that requires physical movement or exercise as the primary interaction mechanism, combining gameplay elements like scoring, levels, and achievements with physical activity. Accessible exergames for people with disabilities use alternative feedback modalities — such as audio-only guidance for blind users or simplified motor demands for people with mobility impairments — to enable independent exercise. Exergames can address health disparities in disability communities by providing motivating, in-home exercise options that bypass barriers of inaccessible gyms and visually dependent fitness instruction.
