Exercise Science is recruiting recreationally active adults (18+) for a research study examining how Nintendo Switch Just Dance sessions influence both physical and psychological responses. Participants will complete one online survey (15-20 minutes), a single in-person lab visit (75-90 minutes) involving brief fitness testing and a 30-minute dance session, and a short virtual interview (30 minutes).
During the session, participants will get a complimentary DEXA body composition scan, wear a heart rate and temperature sensor, provide small finger-prick blood samples, and complete surveys about mood and body image before and after dancing. This fun, movement-based study aims to understand how interactive exercise impacts well-being and motivation.
Interested participants can contact Dr. Barbara Sanchez at basanchez@hartford.edu to learn more or sign up.
