- In children's VR cycling exergames, physical exertion is most effectively motivated when framed as 'relational action'—effort directed toward, with, for, or against game characters rather than simple movement or task completion.
- A pilot study of 16 children demonstrated that narrative elements transform bodily effort into meaningful action by positioning the player as a helper, mediator, or challenger within a social context.
- Designers should prioritize 'relational targets'—such as an ally needing help or an antagonist requiring pursuit—to provide social destinations for physical exertion that do not require complex game controls.
