Summary

This study looked at whether virtual reality-based physical activity (VRPA) is a feasible and enjoyable option for inactive adults compared to traditional exercise like treadmill walking. Researchers measured how many people signed up, stuck with it, and enjoyed it, along with heart rate and calories burned. The goal was to see if VR could help motivate people who don't normally exercise.
