Turning exercise into a video game, making it more accessible + fun for everyone.
The young brain needs physical activity in order to develop cognitive and psychosocial skills such as being able to focus, concentrate and keep calm in heated situations. High-intensity activity has proven as effective as medication for treating the most common mental illnesses among youths; depression and hyperactivity. Playpulse turns high-intensity interval spinning into a fully-fledged video gaming experience by turning an exercise bike into a game controller. It is based on interdisciplinary research on motivational factors in computer games, and the health benefits of high-intensity interval training. Playpulse is the first solution that combines the highly addictive and immersive features of contemporary multi-player game play, with scientifically proven exercise principles to achieve optimal health benefits.
