Summary

To determine effects of VR training on Heart Rate Variability (HRV), Recovery Heart rate (RHR), Rate Pressure Product (RPP) and Rate of Perceived Exertion (RPE) in sedentary Individuals. Sedentary behavior is a significant public health concern associated with various chronic diseases and reduced quality of life. By elucidating the potential of virtual reality training as an innovative approach to promote physical activity and improve cardiovascular health, this research contributes to addressing the growing burden of sedentary lifestyle-related health conditions.

Detailed description

Virtual reality (VR) training in cardiopulmonary rehabilitation (CR) offers an innovative approach to traditional exercise programs by incorporating enjoyable activities. Utilizing VR enhances cardiopulmonary endurance training and promotes the beneficial effects of CR by engaging patients in fun and challenging activities. This approach aims to increase motivation and adherence to CR over an extended period, resulting in improved mental and physical outcomes compared to conventional CR programs
