The Effects of Exergames on Muscle Architecture: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Muscle architectural parameters play a crucial role in the rate of force development, strength, and sports performance. On the other hand, deteriorated muscle architectural parameters are associated with injuries, sarcopenia, mortality, falls, and fragility. With the development of technology, exerg...

Muscle architectural parameters play a crucial role in the rate of force development, strength, and sports performance. On the other hand, deteriorated muscle architectural parameters are associated with injuries, sarcopenia, mortality, falls, and fragility. With the development of technology, exergames have emerged as a complementary tool for physical therapy programs. The PRISMA 2020 statement was followed during the systematic review and meta-analysis. CENTRAL, CINAHL, PROQUEST, PubMed, and OpenGrey databases were searched last time on 22 September 2021. In total, five controlled trials were included in the systematic review. Twelve weeks of virtual dance exercise (Dance Central game for Xbox 360<sup>®</sup>) showed a medium effect on the improvement of hamstrings (<i>g</i> = 0.55, 95% CI (−0.03, 1.14), I<sup>2</sup> = 0%) and the quadriceps femoris muscle cross-sectional area (<i>g</i> = 0.58, 95% CI (0.1, 1.00), I<sup>2</sup> = 0%) in community-dwelling older women.
