Given this perspective, it is necessary to use them at an early age so that schoolchildren acquire a commitment to physical practice and the promotion of lifestyles that are active and lasting over time. Given this, a brief review of current literature and recent research has been conducted, where it has been observed that the use of these new technologies is mainly associated with a high degree of sedentary lifestyle, but active video games serve to complement the levels of physical activity of the subjects, contributing to that thanks to these they can adhere to healthy lifestyles and their motivation increases producing desire to practice physical exercise.
