Frequently Asked Questions Back to GZ Kids-Sport Product Page
1) Is it not better for kids to play outside?
There is a lot of pressure on children to spend more time exercising. We have found children would rather play than exercise. Gamercize gives children the play they want, with exercise that they enjoy.
2) What are the health benefits?
The GZ-Kids Sport increases metabolism and raises their heart rate improving children’s overall fitness and health.
3) Will exercising while playing games improve behaviour?
There has been no study published to prove a link, however, the physical activity of Gamercize makes playing video games more like traditional play time. Gamercize will also encourage your child’s social skills as they play along with their friends and it’s a great stepping stone towards more team sports as your child’s fitness levels improve.
4) Will kids get bored of this?
Gamercize works with all video games new and old. Children only get bored with repetition, which is common for video game racing bikes, but not for Gamercize where the games can be changed at any time. As soon as new games become available or children's favourites change, Gamercize will play them all!
5) Are video games violent and should be kept away from kids?
Video games in the majority of countries have been classified with an age rating. Make sure the age rating is suitable for your child and discover the many games that are enjoyable and fun. Improve your child’s education with challenges and puzzle solving games too.
6) Will pedalling or stepping faster make the character move quicker?
No, Gamercize does not demand a certain level of physical activity needed to play or win. This means all children of all abilities can play against each other competitively or play together in team games.
7) What is the weight and age limits for the exercise machines?
Weight limits and size are more important than age, with the maximum user weight for the Junior Cycle and Junior Stepper being 68kg, about 149 lbs. The exercise machines are not suitable for adults and are mainly designed for 7 - 11 year olds.
8) Is a low-calorie diet going to give faster results?
Low calorie diets are very dangerous for children, and should never been undertaken without sound paediatric advice. Consult with your doctor if you are thinking of putting your child on a diet.
9) How does Gamercize help kids get better at sport?
Gamercize products involve all aspects of co-ordination, balance, strategy, decision making and physical fitness. Your child’s sports performance and enjoyment can be improved by adding Gamercize to their physical education.
10) Can the GZ Kid-Sport be used at school?
Yes, GZ Kids-Sport is ideal for a schools environment. Schools have already chosen the GZ Kids-Sport for its excellent compatibility with low cost games and the bright, attractive colours. Schools already using DDR also benefit from having a ready-to-go PS2 for the GZ Sport to be used with.
