Virtual Reality During Exercise Testing

Exploring Virtual Reality's Impact During Exercise Tests.

Phase N/A

This study is testing how virtual reality (VR) affects exercise performance in healthy adults. Virtual reality is a special technology that shows a computer-generated world. The study aims to see if VR can improve the results of a maximal aerobic exercise test, which measures how well your heart and lungs work during intense exercise. The main questions are whether VR changes the VO2peak (the best amount of oxygen your body can use) and the ventilatory threshold (the point where breathing becomes hard).

Participants will do the exercise test twice: once in a normal lab setting, and once while watching a VR video. By comparing these tests, researchers want to know if VR makes the exercise seem easier and alters important body responses. This information could help in designing better fitness programs.

  • Study Duration: Two exercise tests with a 1-week gap.
  • Compensation: Not specified.
  • Risks: Exclude those not ready for physical activity or pregnant women.

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
