Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This research study is designed to better understand how a virtual reality (VR) exercise application may influence overall physical activity and well-being. VR games can make exercise more enjoyable and interactive, which has been shown to increase engagement in physical activity. Adult participants will do a progressive exercise program and report on overall physical activity, health, and psychological wellbeing. The intervention is expected to have a positive impact on these lifestyle factors.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

irtual Reality (VR) fitness applications are promising interventions to promote exercise in a home setting. Multiplayer fitness games for virtual reality platforms, addresses several common challenges associated with decreased exercise adherence such as social accountability, transportation, weather, gym memberships, and self-consciousness. This study aims to assess the impact of regular usage of a commercially available virtual reality fitness application on quality of life measures, including physical activity, health, and well-being. This study will enroll healthy participants, age 18- 50 years old, and they will be issued a Quest 2 virtual reality headset and given access to the virtual reality fitness application (VRWorkout - VRW). Participants will be asked to use VRW on a regular and progressive basis over a six-week period and to complete surveys about physical activity and wellbeing over a 9-week period. The activity completed within VRW is based on participant choice. A suggested progression schedule will be provided, but not enforced. This study of healthy working individuals, is foundational to assessing whether immersive fitness applications may be used as a lifestyle intervention to increase overall physical activity and well-being.
