This document summarizes common criticisms of exergames (video games that involve physical activity) and discusses the evidence related to each criticism. The three main criticisms covered are: 1) Exergames do not produce the same health benefits as other types of exercise. 2) Exergames encourage screen time and may displace traditional exercise. 3) Exergames are not sufficiently motivating to produce sustained exercise over time. For each criticism, the document outlines the relevant evidence, discusses strategies for further research, and how the criticisms could inform the development and implementation of exergames.
The stress-buffering model of social support in glycaemic control in adolesce...Emily Mattacola
Poster presented at the British Psychological Society's Division of Health Psychology Conference 2015
The behaviour of peers can have a significant impact on self-care, particularly in adolescents. Adolescents with long-term conditions such as Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (T1DM) must manage the challenges of this life stage alongside the additional burden of their long-term condition. It is unlikely to be a coincidence that as peer pressure peaks, adolescents with T1DM display decreasing self-care in exchange for peer acceptability. Previous research has shown that this combination of aspirations can influence daily choices in disease management.
Aim: To assess whether social bonding is associated with glycaemic control in T1DM via the stress-buffering model of social support.
Method: Biomarkers of social bonding (oxytocin) and HPA axis activity (cortisol) were analysed and compared to glycaemic control (HbA1c) and self-reported self-care behaviours. Participants were aged 15-18, recruited from two paediatric outpatient clinics in the East Midlands of England. Participants supplied salivary samples of biomarkers via Salivettes for analysis using immunoassay. Glycaemic control was provided by the clinic, with self-care assessed using the Self-Care Inventory
.
Findings: Despite significant correlations between oxytocin and cortisol, neither biomarker was found to be associated with glycaemic control or self-care. However, when looking at demographic characteristics, both males and those aged 17 or over indicated a relationship between cortisol and self-care behaviours. This relationship was maintained during regression analysis. with cortisol explaining a significant proportion of the variance in self-care.
Discussion: Despite social support being found as beneficial in previous research, these findings suggest that the mechanism through which social support is associated with glycaemic control is not via the HPA axis. Rather, a positive impact of cortisol on self-care behaviours was found. In males and those aged 17 and over, it is suggested that a sufficient amount of stress is required to increase self-care behaviours. It is proposed that optimal stress provides motivation to appropriately self-manage in these demographic groups. Further research is required to assess if this stress is disease-specific, or if daily hassles and other generic sources are also associated with this improved self-management.
Selye defined stress as the non-specific response of the body to any demand placed upon it. Holmes and Rahe studied the relationship between life changes and illness, developing a scale to measure major life changes and finding that greater life changes correlated with increased likelihood of illness. Lazarus's theory emphasized that cognitive appraisal determines what is stressful and how it is coped with, and that emotions result from stress responses rather than cause them. Coping can shape and respond to demands to influence future experiences.
Physical activity provides physical, psychological, and social benefits for people with mental health problems. It can increase self-esteem, reduce stress, depression, and anxiety, and help prevent cognitive decline and diseases like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. Regular exercise aims to improve quality of life by promoting rehabilitation, reintegration into society, and fostering cognitive, motor, emotional and social skills. It seeks to reduce disabling effects of mental disorders, aid in weight control, and improve cardiovascular health and life expectancy. Methodological considerations for physical activity programs include focusing guidance on individual patients, avoiding infantilism, providing simple and repetitive instructions, and using short learning periods.
Test taking anxiety is a very common issue among college students. Research indicates that physical activity/exercise may help diminish the symptoms of test taking anxiety. Current research has studied the relationship between varying forms of exercise and test-taking anxiety using anxiety measures such as the State Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI). The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of physical activity/exercise on self-reported test taking anxiety and anxiety scores on the STAI. A total of 267 college students completed an informed consent form preceding an online survey instrument. The survey collected self-reported information such as grade point average, text-taking anxiety, and physical activity/exercise habits; subjects also completed the STAI. Students who participate in moderate-to-high physical activity/exercise scored significantly lower (representing lower anxiety levels) on the STAI in comparison to students who participate in moderate-to-low physical activity/exercise. This would suggest that moderate-to-high physical activity/exercise may reduce academic anxiety such as test-taking anxiety in college students.
This document reviews the literature on the mental health benefits of physical activity. It discusses how physical activity has been shown to improve symptoms of depression and other mental illnesses when used as a treatment. Regular physical activity may also help prevent future episodes of depressive illness. However, studies on the association between physical activity and mental health are limited and the relationship may depend on the intensity and type of physical activity. Overall, the literature demonstrates that physical activity can support mental health, but more research is still needed.

Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune DiseaseHealth Advances
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.
