US pupils to dance themselves fit
Schools in West Virginia are targeting 10 – 14 year old school goers with a new exercise regime. The Konami game Dance Dance Revolution(DDR)will be used. The trial will roll out 157 machines to middle schools and eventually extend it to all 753 public schools. Dance Dance Revolution is an Xbox console game where the user has to move their feet to the sound of music, and looks like a fun easy way to get our kids to do more exercise.
Schools in West Virginia are turning to a computer game to help fight obesity among students.
In early 2005 a pilot project in the state put Dance Dance Revolution (DDR) game machines in 20 public schools in. Following the success of that trial West Virginia is planning to roll out machines to 157 middle schools and eventually all 753 public schools.
