The study aims to investigate the effects of a serious game on the performance of health science students in the education of the cardiovascular system anatomy. Experiments were performed using a serious game to teach the cardiovascular system anatomy to Physiotherapy undergraduate students. Data collection was performed through pre and post-tests with a study group using knowledge questionnaires of the cardiovascular system anatomy. In addition, a usability scale and open-ended questions were answered by students and human anatomy experts following experiments in the computer lab. From the data analysis, it has been observed an increase in the educational performance of the students with the use of the serious game to aid teaching of the cardiovascular system anatomy in a virtual 3D Web environment.
