Mechanics, dynamics and aesthetics are of special importance in game design for the elderly. Regarding the design of games and sports, the following can be considered. 1) Choosing sports or sports activities suitable for daily life activities in order to provide meaningful and motivating sports fields for the elderly. 2) Building adequate learning structures by providing options that combine challenge and support. 3) Determining appropriate effect-response relationships for different rehabilitation goals depending on the stage of the disease. 4) Development and evaluation of appropriate educational environments. 5) Designing sports games based on the needs of the elderly. The use of game-based tools for rehabilitation is rapidly expanding. Cognitive rehabilitation through video games is a new and emerging topic in cognitive science. Sports games have the capacity to rehabilitate the elderly and it is necessary to research and evaluate the fields of game and sports development for this age group. Manuscript profile
