摘要：Purpose of this study was to determine the differences between boys and girls on enjoyment of severalactivities including two sedentary activities (watching TV, playing Strike Force Bowling-PS2 game) andoneexergame (Nintendo Wii Tennis). One hundred and sixty-two children, aged 11.2±0.8 years were divided intotwo groups according to their gender. Participants individually attended three testing sessions during whichthey performed several physical activities as describe above. Following each activity children completed aPhysical Activity Enjoyment Questionnaire. A two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) with repeated measureswas conducted to evaluate the effect of gender on the enjoyment of those activities. Results indicated thatTV was the least enjoyable activity whereas the exergame, Wii Tennis, was the most enjoyable activity. Nosignificant differences were found between gender groups. Conclusively, children’s enjoyment of exergamescould be capitalised on in order to develop interventions to increase physical activity.
