Abstract

Exercise performance helps to improve healthcare of the general public. It is important to create a fun environment to exercise as this will encourage people to maintain their effort to keep healthy and fit. The focus of this paper is to highlight a blueprint work which focuses on the initiative to improve exercise performance in current exergame innovation. This expert-driven work involved a collaborative initiative from four faculties of various disciplines as well as ICT experts from other universities. This is an important strategy as we intend to create effective and practical techniques to address the needs of the users' end who are the patients. The work evolved around the concept of measurement and monitoring of real-time heart rate zone to target exercise intensity during exergame sessions. The work also aims to provide people with the ease and simplicity to monitor their real-time exercise performance based on heart rate zone through mobile exergaming. Findings from this project suggest the importance of improving exercise via exergame for example, effective performance during exergaming sessions, in the long run, is critical for a positive impact on health. This work can form a basis for a community-wide approach to address the major public health problem of non-communicable disease from physical inactivity.
