Virtual Cycling Environments for Persons With Parkinson Disease

Официальное название

Virtual Cycling Environments (VCYCLE) Increases Exercise Intensity of Persons With Parkinson Disease

Обзор

This study asks three questions about Persons with Parkinson Disease that use a bicycle for exercise. 1. Does the use of virtual reality increase the intensity and and enjoyment of the experience compared to bicycling without virtual reality? 2. Does the way in which the bicycling (interval compared to continous) is performed affect the experience? 3. How does the way the virtual reality is delivered (with goggles or projected on a screen) affect the experience?

Подробное описание

Participants attend two sessions. They complete movement assessments and questionnaires about physical activity. During the first session they bicycle in a semi-immersive (projected on a screen) and an immersive (with googles) virtual environment. After each bout they completed a questionnaire about the experience. In the second session they bicycle four times with and without a virtual environment using both a continous and interval mode. Their oxygen consumption is measured during cycling. They complete questionnaires after each exercise bout.

Вмешательства

• Другое Bicycling with and without virtual reality
  In one session: Exercise intensity and enjoyment are measured while participants bicycle in a virtual compared to non-virtual environment. Cycling takes places in two modes continous and interval. In a second session exercise intensity and enjoyment are compared during bicycling with virtual reality presented in two different ways.
