GameCycle by Three Rivers Holdings

Make exercise and rehab routines as addictive as gaming! The GameCycle is the
latest Out-Front brand product from Three Rivers.  

The GameCycle combines gaming and exercise and is unique in two important
ways: 

    First, it is specifically designed for upper body exercise - this is in
    contrast to most exercise devices that only target the legs.  

    Second, the GameCycle interfaces with Nintendo GameCube videogames: The
    GameCycle simulates arm cycling as users crank and steer to control
    videogames.  

The GameCycle makes exercise challenging and fun, which encourages more
frequent exercise and better compliance with exercise regimens. To learn more
about research demonstrating the effectiveness of the GameCycle, visit the
webpage link below. 

In addition to providing a great cardiovascular workout, the GameCycle also
provides cognitive and motor benefits as the user matches upper extremity
movement to visual feedback from the videogame. This makes the GameCycle an
ideal addition to neuro rehab routines (see the article written by a
therapist using the GameCycle in neuro rehab).  

If you have a high speed internet connection and Windows Media Player 10, you
may view an introductory video of the GameCycle by clicking on the link
below.  

Because the GameCycle is attractive to people of all abilities, it creates a
truly "universal access" exercise option that is enjoyed by people in
wheelchairs and by children, adults, and seniors of varying abilities and in
a variety of settings.
