Summary

This study aimed to evaluate the effects of a 12-week VR fitness intervention on the functional fitness of adults of different age ranges.

Detailed description

Previous studies have shown age-related decreases in physical activity and functional fitness among older adults. Virtual Reality (VR) exercise programs are currently used in leisure and entertainment to improve the physical health of older adults. However, VR exercise in assessing physical health or functional fitness in older adults of different age ranges is rare. To fill this research gap, VR exercise was to assess functional fitness improvement in young and middle-aged participants.
