This project was supported by National Research Initiative Grant #2008-55215-18837 from the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture.

The Exergame Unlocked project includes a multi-state team of accomplished media education researchers, exercise physiologists, medical professionals and doctoral students. Contributing members are researchers in their fields and have helped launch the use of exergames as tools to combat obesity in their communities and beyond.

New Mexico State University researchers and their partners have been funded to research the impact of exergames, develop and implement specific recommendations for exergame use. As part of that project, this website provides access to resources based on research, sample projects, and input from the exergaming community.
