GameCycle by Three Rivers Holdings Make exercise and rehab routines as addictive as gaming! The GameCycle is the latest Out-Front brand product from Three Rivers. The GameCycle combines gaming and exercise and is unique in two important ways: First, it is specifically designed for upper body exercise - this is in contrast to most exercise devices that only target the legs. Second, the GameCycle interfaces with Nintendo GameCube videogames: The GameCycle simulates arm cycling as users crank and steer to control videogames. The GameCycle makes exercise challenging and fun, which encourages more frequent exercise and better compliance with exercise regimens. To learn more about research demonstrating the effectiveness of the GameCycle, visit the webpage link below. In addition to providing a great cardiovascular workout, the GameCycle also provides cognitive and motor benefits as the user matches upper extremity movement to visual feedback from the videogame. This makes the GameCycle an ideal addition to neuro rehab routines (see the article written by a therapist using the GameCycle in neuro rehab). If you have a high speed internet connection and Windows Media Player 10, you may view an introductory video of the GameCycle by clicking on the link below. Because the GameCycle is attractive to people of all abilities, it creates a truly "universal access" exercise option that is enjoyed by people in wheelchairs and by children, adults, and seniors of varying abilities and in a variety of settings.
