This study investigates how playing active video games affects pain sensitivity, enjoyment, and fitness levels. Fitness levels include heart rate, energy use, and how hard the body feels it is working during exercise. Active video games are those that require physical movement, making them different from traditional video games that are played sitting down.

Participants will have their cardiovascular health checked, which includes how their heart and lungs work during exercise. They will also use devices to measure their physical activity. The study will look at how much participants enjoy playing the games and how these games might change their sensitivity to pain.

• Who can participate: Individuals advised by a doctor to limit physical activity due to heart conditions or who experience chest pain, dizziness, or fainting during activity are not eligible, nor are those with bone or joint problems or on medication for blood pressure or heart conditions.
• Study details: Participants will engage in active video gaming sessions with monitored heart rate and physical activity, and will report on enjoyment and changes in pain sensitivity. A placebo is not involved.
