Abstract
in English, Chinese

Engaging in physical activity and exercise is one of the important ways for health promotion. However, older adults are often physically inactive or have a sedentary lifestyle and have poor compliance with physical activity. Exergaming program with their unique advantages could make physical activity a more joyful experience and motivate older adults to participate in physical activity. Promoting older adults' health through engagement in exergaming programs is still in the early stage, and still faces many challenges. Analyzing the challenges and difficulties faced by exergaming program for older adults and exploring in-depth strategies to promote the implementation of exergaming program for older adults are of great significance for the design and implementation of sports games for older adults.

运动是促进老年人健康的重要手段之一，但目前老年人普遍存在静坐生活方式，缺乏规律运动的习惯，运动锻炼的依从性较差。运动游戏以其独特的优势有望增加老年人的运动乐趣，提升运动依从性，为老年人运动锻炼提供新的选择。然而，运动游戏在老年人运动锻炼中的应用尚处于早期阶段，仍面临诸多挑战和困境。分析运动游戏在老年人运动锻炼中面临的挑战和困境，深入探讨促进老年人运动游戏实施的对策，对老年人运动游戏的设计和实施具有重要的意义。.
