I'm not sure it's the repetitiveness of the physical activity that is the issue, though could be. The way I'm interpreting it, I read it as you need to combine physical activity with sensory and cognitive tasks. Which dance provides. Beat Saber is repetitive in the physical movement, but constantly challenges you in the sensory and cognitive department.
- Johnjonjoan 6y agoI do think your point that the physical repetitiveness isn't the only factor is correct, however I believe it is the main driver. Almost all physically repetitive exercises combine sensory and cognitive tasks to varying extents. I would also argue that learning and implementing new movements is a much more diverse task cognitively than getting better at beatsabre.
- didibus 6y agoI can see learning dance coreographies still being better than Beat Saber for sure. I just think a lot of normally suggested activities don't really involve sensory and cognitive aspects, like walking, jogging, cycling, swimming. So compared to those, I could see something like Beat Saber possibly having better success, which is where I feel it becomes interesting, because most people would naturally assume that picking up a game like Beat Saber wouldn't be any good and it be best you'd start swimming.
