q2 · i1 · causal · r2

Post-treatment comparison of the final group-choreography performance exam, filmed and rated on a 1-5 rhythm scale, between the gamified exergaming and control groups. The article reports a significant group difference with ηp2=.032 (a small effect) and that rhythmic motor skill academic performance was better in the gamified exergaming intervention.

"A significant difference appeared i n rhythmic motor skill academic performance between the groups (t(406)=-7.21, p=.000, ηp2=.032). Rhythmic motor skill academic performance was better in t he gamified exergaming intervention than in the non-gamified and non -exergaming intervention."
