XRKade Research Lab, the first university interactive fitness research lab for children, opened its doors January 8 at the University of South Florida. The lab’s researchers may shed light on innovative ways of combating childhood obesity.
The XRKade fitness lab, located in the Physical Education Building, is designed to investigate the impact of technology-based interactive game activities on children’s physical activities and fitness levels.
The lab is the result of a unique partnership between the USF School of Physical Education, Wellness, and Sport Studies (USF College of Education) and iTECH Fitness of Denver, Colo. Among the technology driven activities included in the lab are Dance, Dance, Revolution; Cateye game bikes; X-board; 3-Kick; and Cybex Trazer.
