Danceclub and Active Gaming Systems Offers Solutions to Fight Obesity in Schools and Communities

Danceclub and Active Gaming Systems Ltd. is a UK-based supplier of fitness gaming products for schools, youth clubs and leisure centres.

Danceclub and Active Gaming Systems Ltd. is a UK-based company established to make exercise fun for users of all ages by bringing a wide range of quality fitness gaming products to Europe. The company specialises in selling fitness gaming products that meet a very specific set of criteria to make sure that the products are not only effective, but also game-based and sustainable. The fitness gaming solutions offered by the company can be used in a variety of settings, including schools, health clubs, and indoor play and leisure centres.

To meet the company's criteria, the products must deliver a gaming experience with different levels of difficulty that can be adjusted to match the fitness levels of the entire family or a diverse group of users. Players' performance and score in the game must be directly affected by their level of physical activity, and the activity required to play the game must provide progressive fitness challenges and improve two or more key health and skill components of fitness. These include cardiovascular fitness, body composition, strength, agility, endurance, coordination, balance, speed and reaction time.

The products must also meet strict criteria on the gaming side. The interactive games must integrate monitoring and recording functions, and allow users to connect and compete with other players online. They must immerse players in an engaging experience that requires their full attention, and have progressive difficulty levels and rewards. Finally, the player's activity must interact directly with a console-based game to affect the activity on the screen. fitnessgaming ltd has developed a rating system that takes all these factors into account to provide potential customers with an easy reference tool when they are comparing different products.

The company's most popular product, the Dancemat 1 – 4 dance mat range, offers a fun gaming experience using the Nintendo Wii. For environments requiring a larger number of mats , there is the I-GameSports system, which uses up to 32 wireless dance mats, provides educators with a website lesson builder, and allows them to record and analyse students' performance data. The fitnessgaming Trainer, an interactive reaction wall that uses Veqtor's Target Trainer Curriculum Manager (TTCM) software, is another fun tool that can be integrated into existing PE or PT routines to improve students' balance, coordination, and strength.

Based in Settle in North Yorkshire, fitnessgaming ltd is focused on delivering engaging tools to fight the growing problems of obesity and inactivity among both the young and the old by providing them with solutions that turn physical activity and participation in exercise into a fun way to spend their time. The company supplies products to the education, local authority and private sector.
