Video games with a physical activity component could help young children get more exercise during the school day, a small study suggests.

The current study found that compared to kids in preschool who played in traditional recess, those who played exergames got significantly more physical activity. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-health-preschoolers-exergaming/movement-video-games-boost-preschoolers-exercise-idUSKCN1PJ1ZN
