    Abstract
    Location-based games require, among other things, obtaining or computing information regarding the players’ physical activity and real-world context. Additionally, ensuring that the players are assigned challenges that are adequate and safe for the current context (both physical and spatial) is also important, as it can improve both the gaming experience and the outcomes of the exercise. However, the impact adaptivity has in the specific case of location-based exergames still has not been researched in depth. In this paper, we present a location-based exergame and compare different play-through sessions when playing both the context sensitive and the regular versions of the game. Results show that the adaptive version provided a significantly safer gameplay experience. These results showcase the impact in player health and safety that player adaptivity achieves in location-based exergames. © Springer International Publishing AG, part of Springer Nature 2018.
