Exergames have the potential to be used as motivating physical training tools. Numerous studies are currently available that investigate the effects of physical training with Exergames. However, most studies focus on specific training effects or specific target groups. A comprehensive summary of conditioning, coordinative and sports skill related training effects with Exergames in healthy adults is still missing. This contribution presents the protocol for a systematic review that aims to: a) summarize absolute and relative effects of training with Exergames on physical indicators and motivation compared to no or conventional training; b) identify possible mediators and moderators for varying training responses; c) identify gaps in the current evidence related to Exergame-based training.
