Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Exercise on immersive VR-based bike
Participants were asked to exercise on an immersive VR-based exercise bike for one hour per session, two times per week, for 4 weeks
VR-based exercise bike
For the intervention group, participations exercised on an immersive VR-based exercise bike for one hour, twice per week, for 4 weeks. Participants in the control group were asked to maintain their usual routine after the baseline test for 4 weeks. Participants were scheduled separately coming to lab for the post-test after 4 weeks and all participants received the identical assessments in aforementioned physiological and psychological outcomes.
Usual routine
Participants in the control group were asked to maintain their usual routine after the baseline test for 4 weeks. Participants were scheduled separately coming to lab for the post-test after 4 weeks and all participants received the identical assessments in aforementioned physiological and psychological outcomes.
Usual routine
Participants were asked to maintain their usual activities, without engaging in any other physical activity intervention during the 4-week study period.
