Eleven physically-fit teenagers, ages 13 to 15, were selected for the study. After measuring expended energy in a resting state using five sensors placed around the body, the participants played 15 minutes of Project Gotham Racing 3, followed by rounds of Wii Sports boxing, tennis, and bowling for 15 minutes each. Though there was a marked difference in expended energy between rest and PGR3, Wii Sports definitely has a lead on the racer in physical activity. But not by much:

• Project Gotham Racing 3: 125.5 kJ/kg/min
• Wii Sports bowling: 190.6 kJ/kg/min
• Wii Sports boxing: 198.1 kJ/kg/min
• Wii Sports tennis: 202.5 kJ/kg/min
