This study assessed whether a high-intensity exergame represents an enjoyable trainingtool for children in the elementary school setting. Furthermore, it evaluated whether gender, bodymass index (BMI), waist-to-height ratio (WHtR), fitness level, weekly physical activity level, andgeneral interest in sports moderate perceived enjoyment during the 12-week intervention. Thirtyfifth- and sixth-grade students (10.5 ± 0.7 years; 50% girls) participated in this study. During baselineassessments, anthropometric measurements and a shuttle run test were conducted. Throughout theintervention period, the students participated in 15–20-min exergaming sessions (ES) in the Exer-Cube twice a week during school hours. Enjoyment was assessed after an ES in weeks 2 and 12.Additionally, enjoyment was evaluated after a physical education (PE) class in week 2. The resultsreveal no significant changes in enjoyment (p = 0.164) over time. The modest changes over time weresignificantly affected by BMI (p = 0.027), WHtR (p = 0.007), and weekly activity level (p = 0.016).Compared to the PE class, enjoyment was significantly higher during the ES (p < 0.001). None of thecovariates showed a significant effect. Mean HR during the ES reached 87.1 ± 1.9% of students’ in-dividual maximum HR. In conclusion, the ExerCube provides a promising tool for schools to pro-mote enjoyable moderate-to-vigorous physical activity.
