Introduction: Exergaming, which combines physical activity with video gaming, has gained popularity as a tool for promoting health and cognitive development, particularly in preadolescents. The influence of exergaming on working memory, a cognitive skill essential for tasks such as problem-solving, learning, and multitasking, has become a subject of research interest. Studies suggest that engaging in exergaming may enhance working memory in preadolescents by providing an interactive and enjoyable way to exercise both the body and brain. This introduction explores the potential benefits of exergaming on working memory development, examining how it might help improve cognitive functions while fostering physical activity in young children.
Aim: To determine the influence of exergaming on working memory in preadolescents.
Objective: to find the significance of exergaming on working memory in preadolescents.
Methodology: A 22-children study was conducted. Boys and Girls of 9-12 years were studied. Subjects received intervention of exergaming i.e. N-back and letter digit span. Study individuals received intervention for alternate days for 2 weeks. Backward digit span test was used as outcome measure.
Result: There is significant difference in pre and post score of backward digit span test
Conclusion: The study concludes that exergaming significantly improves working memory in pre-adolescents, highlighting its potential as an effective cognitive development tool.
