Luc (15) wants to try all the games and is a fanatical gamer. Jessey tracks his performance on an IPad and encourages him to score high in all sports. Maximum Exercise uses a variety of games to encourage movement. Running, jumping, biking and sliding in the gym or in the sports garden. There are also game consoles in the teen lounge with movement games. With the two exercise goggles, you can practice archery, boxing and tennis in VR. But catching flies and sorting fruit are also fun games.
Nice addition
Danique Agterberg, coordinator of Maximum Exercise, says: ‘These goggles are great for distraction and relaxation. These goggles can help you get back into shape, in or out of bed, to get moving again step by step. Or to work specific muscles. By playing tennis in VR, you can even work your arm muscles in bed! She quickly adds: ‘Of course, 'normal' exercise, preferably outdoors with all the equipment we have at our disposal, is the best, but the VR glasses are a nice addition. Luc and Jessey agree, as they head to the gym to work on their biceps after a game of exercise goggles.
The VR project at the Máxima Center uses several types of goggles. VR goggles for distraction and pain, anxiety and stress reduction, goggles for training and preparation, and so are two VR goggles for Maximum Exercise.
