Sedentary middle-aged men on Teesside in the North East of England could soon be using a high-intensity exercise video game to improve their health as researchers at Teesside University have developed an alternative to the Nintendo Wii which doesn’t allow users to cheat.

Their aim is to enthuse a population that is typically reluctant to take up sport or exercise by using a fun game in a non-threatening, familiar social setting.
