Purpose: Physical activity (PA) is important for child development, and improves both physical and mental health. It is also central to many childhood activities (e.g. game playing) that support social interaction. Children with disabilities often have lower levels of PA than recommended and decreased social interaction compared with typically developing children. Exergaming, which combines exercise with video game play, is one approach to engaging children in PA. We have developed a system called the Liberi Exergames for children with disabilities that consists of a cycling-based video platform that supports social interaction by allowing children to play together over a network.The objectives of this study were to determine: 1) if children with FASD would engage in the Liberi Exergame program, 2) the level of exercise achieved, and 3) the effect of the program on fitness.
