Zan Gao, Ph.D., associate professor in the School of Kinesiology and director of Physical Activity Epidemiology Laboratory, publishes research on “Exergaming”, a form of virtual reality physical activity, in Education Week. “Reading Aloud and ‘Exergaming’: A Roundup of Early-Years Research” analyzes two studies involving children: reading aloud and “exercise-related video-games”.

“It is truly important for children, including young children, to be physically active on a daily basis,” says Gao.
