Exergaming platforms provide a potential solution by integrating physical and cognitive exercises into a gaming format that encourages older adults to train regularly. This paper investigates the feasibility and preliminary effectiveness of an intervention using the GAME2AWE exergaming platform, designed specifically for older adults and incorporating a unique combination of Kinect-based motion tracking, a smart floor system, and virtual reality. The intervention emphasized ease of use and accessibility through a human-centered design, while offering progressively challenging, dual-task activities. In a pilot randomized controlled trial involving 58 older adults in the final analysis, technology acceptance was high. Participants in the intervention group (n = 30) used the platform in an average of 16.7 weekly sessions with 100% adherence. Compared to a control group receiving usual care, significant improvements were observed in motor functions, including balance, lower-limb strength, dynamic balance, and mobility. Cognitive outcomes also improved significantly, including global cognition, attention, executive function, working memory, and processing speed. These results suggest that the GAME2AWE multi-technology intervention is feasible, well-accepted, and potentially effective in improving motor and cognitive functions among older adults. 2025 true true true false false NONE 2026-03-06 false 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 Q1 false false false false 2025-11-04T07:37:57.763+0000 6 22 0 3 0 true Language 10002 /api/language/10002 Angol English true 2 true PersonAuthorship 127488443 /api/authorship/127488443 1 0.33333334 true false true Goumopoulos Christos true false false AuthorshipType 1 /api/authorshiptype/1 0 true 0 true false true PersonAuthorship 127488444 /api/authorship/127488444 2 0.33333334 false false false Danousis Michail true false false AuthorshipType 1 /api/authorshiptype/1 0 true 0 true false true PersonAuthorship 127488445 /api/authorship/127488445 3 0.33333334 false true false Drakakis Emmanouil true false false AuthorshipType 1 /api/authorshiptype/1 0 true 0 true false true PublicationIdentifier 29695147 /api/publicationidentifier/29695147 PlainSource 6 /api/publicationsource/6 PublicationSourceType 10001 /api/publicationsourcetype/10001 true true true DOI DOI https://doi.org/@@@ true true 6 true 10.1080/10447318.2025.2528146 https://doi.org/10.1080/10447318.2025.2528146 false true PublicationIdentifier 29695148 /api/publicationidentifier/29695148 PlainSource 1 /api/publicationsource/1 PublicationSourceType 10003 /api/publicationsourcetype/10003 false true true WoS WoS https://www.webofscience.com/wos/woscc/full-record/@@@ true true 1 true 001534906900001 https://www.webofscience.com/wos/woscc/full-record/001534906900001 false true PublicationIdentifier 29695149 /api/publicationidentifier/29695149 PlainSource 3 /api/publicationsource/3 PublicationSourceType 10003 /api/publicationsourcetype/10003 false true true Scopus Scopus http://www.scopus.com/record/display.url?origin=inward&eid=2-s2.0-@@@ true true 3 true 105011962661 http://www.scopus.com/record/display.url?origin=inward&eid=2-s2.0-105011962661 false true Keyword 161 /api/keyword/161 true 161 true Keyword 307 /api/keyword/307 true 307 true Keyword 2350 /api/keyword/2350 true 2350 true Keyword 2569 /api/keyword/2569 true 2569 true Keyword 5924 /api/keyword/5924 true 5924 true Keyword 11267 /api/keyword/11267 true 11267 true Keyword 1000388 /api/keyword/1000388 true 1000388 true Keyword 1059058 /api/keyword/1059058 true 1059058 true Keyword 1184322 /api/keyword/1184322 true 1184322 true Keyword 1235095 /api/keyword/1235095 true 1235095 true Keyword 1586190 /api/keyword/1586190 true true Keyword 1612123 /api/keyword/1612123 true true Keyword 2018266 /api/keyword/2018266 true true Keyword 2599017 /api/keyword/2599017 true true SjrRating 11678528 /api/sjrrating/11678528 146 0.24 journal RatingType 10002 /api/ratingtype/10002 sjr true true ClassificationExternal 1706 /api/classificationexternal/1706 true 1706 true Q1 FROM_PREVIOUS_TO_LAST_YEAR true true /api/publication/36281415 <div class="JournalArticle Publication long-list"> <div class="authors"> <img title="Idézőközlemény" style="float: left" src="/frontend/resources/grid/publication-citation-icon.png"> <div class="autype autype0"> <span class="author-name" >Goumopoulos Christos ✉ </span> ;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
