Brief Summary

Aim - determine the immediate and lasting effects of Exergaming frequency on work performance, health, motor, and cognitive function in clerical employees.

Mobility	8 weeks	Fast gait speed over 10 m - speed, the faster the better
Motor function	8 weeks	Step test (as described by Prieske et al, motion and endurance test)
MOBILITY	8 weeks	-SPPB - the higher score better performance
BALANCE Functional reach	8 weeks	Beam walking (4, 8, 12 cm 3 trials each, summed distance score) The longer the journey is, the better the performance
