First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looked at whether playing virtual reality exercise games could improve the physical and cognitive health of office workers who sit most of the day. 32 sedentary university employees aged 30-60 were split into two groups: one played VR games like Beat Saber twice a week for six weeks, while the other did not. The researchers measured balance, thinking skills, and body mass index to see if the VR group improved compared to the control group.
