Официальное название
Development and Preliminary Clinical Evaluation of a Physiological Biofeedback-Integrated Virtual Reality-Based Exercise Intervention for Young Adults at Risk of Digital Gaming Addiction
Обзор
Digital game addiction is associated with reduced physical activity, increased sedentary behavior, and adverse physical and psychosocial health outcomes in young adults. This study aims to develop and evaluate the effectiveness of a physiological biofeedback-integrated virtual reality (VR)-based exercise intervention for young adults at risk of digital gaming addiction. In this prospective, single-blind, randomized controlled trial, participants will be randomly assigned to either a VR-based aerobic exercise group or a traditional aerobic exercise group. Both groups will participate in supervised exercise sessions twice weekly for 8 weeks. The primary outcome is physical activity level, while secondary outcomes include functional capacity, muscle strength, physiological responses during exercise, digital gaming addiction severity, exercise enjoyment, and intervention usability.
Подробное описание
Digital game addiction is an emerging public health concern, particularly among young adults, and is associated with reduced physical activity, prolonged sedentary behavior, and adverse physical and psychosocial health outcomes. Innovative and engaging interventions are needed to promote physical activity in this population. Virtual reality (VR)-based exercise provides an immersive and motivating environment that may improve participation and adherence to exercise programs. Integrating physiological biofeedback into VR exercise may further optimize exercise intensity while enhancing safety and effectiveness.
This study aims to develop and conduct a preliminary clinical evaluation of a physiological biofeedback-integrated VR-based exercise intervention for young adults at risk of digital gaming addiction. The study is designed as a prospective, single-blind (outcome assessor), randomized controlled trial. Eligible participants will be randomly assigned to either a VR-based aerobic exercise group or a traditional aerobic exercise group. Both groups will participate in supervised exercise sessions twice weekly for 8 weeks, with each session lasting approximately 30 minutes. In the VR group, exercise intensity will be individualized using heart rate-based physiological biofeedback while participants perform immersive and interactive aerobic exercise under the supervision of a physiotherapist. Participants in the traditional exercise group will receive a structured aerobic exercise program matched for exercise intensity and duration.
The primary outcome is physical activity level. Secondary outcomes include functional capacity, muscle strength, physiological responses during exercise, digital gaming addiction severity, exercise enjoyment, and intervention usability. Outcomes will be assessed at baseline and after completion of the intervention using validated assessment tools. The findings of this study are expected to provide preliminary evidence regarding the feasibility and clinical effectiveness of physiological biofeedback-integrated VR-based exercise for young adults at risk of digital gaming addiction and contribute to the development of technology-assisted exercise interventions for this population.
Вмешательства
- Поведенческое Traditional Aerobic Exercise
Participants will perform a supervised structured aerobic exercise program twice weekly for 8 weeks. Exercise intensity will be individualized according to target heart rate and progressively adjusted throughout the intervention. - Поведенческое Virtual Reality-Based Aerobic Exercise
Participants will perform supervised aerobic exercise in an immersive virtual reality environment twice weekly for 8 weeks. Exercise intensity will be individualized using heart rate-based physiological biofeedback and progressively adjusted according to participants' physiological responses.
