Video game warm-up.
Participants will either rest or perform a 5-minute video game session of StarFox Zero (Nintendo) using the Wii-U (Nintendo) immediately prior to a simulated endoscopy assessment. The optimal pre-procedure warm-up duration is not known. Short interventions appear to be effective in athletic performance, and have been used in other procedural studies evaluating warm-up benefit. The intervention and assessment are expected to take ≤20 minutes per time point.
