Atividades de Lazer, Motivação, Educação Física e TreinamentoResumo
Os exergames (EXGs), jogos virtuais que englobam o movimento humano em sua prática, têm funcionado atualmente como um intermédio entre a vida extremamente tecnológica e a inatividade física. Os objetivos do presente estudo foram identificar os principais motivos pelos quais as pessoas jogam videogames e EXGs, correlacionando-os aos motivos pelos quais elas praticam atividades físicas e esportes. Participaram do estudo 18 voluntários de ambos os gêneros, com idade média de 22,7 ± 2,4 anos. Foi utilizado o Inventário de Motivação, Jogos Virtuais e Prática de Atividades Físicas/Esportes. Os resultados proporcionaram estabelecer conexões entre a influência das novas tecnologias, com enfoque específico nos jogos virtuais e EXGs, os estados emocionais, mais especificamente a motivação e a prática de exercícios e atividades físicas.
