Valk, P.J.L. (author), Jetten, A.M. (author), Simons, M. (author)Background : Optimal physical and mental fitness of pilots is a prerequisite for flight safety. Pilots suffering from allergic rhinoconjuctivitis or other allergic upper airway diseases are not allowed to fly because ambient pressure changes may aggravate the symptoms and some antihistaminic medication may interfere with flight safety, probably...report 2015

Simons, M. (author), Chinapaw, M.J.M. (author), Brug, J. (author), Seidell, J. (author), de Vet, E. (author)Background Active video games may contribute to reducing time spent in sedentary activities, increasing physical activity and preventing excessive weight gain in adolescents. Active video gaming can, however, only be beneficial for weight management when it replaces sedentary activities and not other physical activity, and when it is not...article 2015

Simons, M. (author)In dit proefschrift wordt onderzocht in hoeverre beweeggames kunnen bijdragen aan de preventie van overgewicht bij 12- tot 16-jarigen. Uit het onderzoek blijkt dat dit soort games nog niet kunnen concurreren met de gangbare computergames en daarom niet aantrekkelijk genoeg zijn voor jongeren om naar over te stappen. Simons raadt de fabrikanten...doctoral thesis 2015

Baranowski, T. (author), Maddison, R. (author), Maloney, A. (author), Medina, E. (author), Simons, M. (author)Although exergames have been demonstrated to induce moderate levels of physical activity (PA) if played as designed, there is conflicting evidence on use of exergaming leading to increased habitual PA. Exergames have increased PA in some home and school studies, but not others. Exergames have been used in community centers to good effect, but...article 2014

(author)Videogames in general have been maligned for causing obesity because of their inherent sedentariness, whereas exergames have been both maligned for requiring low levels of activity and extolled for requiring physical activity to move game play along. The intensity and duration of physical activity resulting from exergame play have shown varying...article 2013
