1

Studies of Virtual reality-based aerobic training measured 1 outcome; the most studied are functional capacity (1 study).

Functional capacity

1 study
  1. Virtual reality-based aerobic training is linked with better functional capacity in humans (Phase II cardiac rehabilitation; compared with cycle ergometer and treadmill training) (Mean change in peak oxygen consumption: 2.28 ± 0.87 mL/kg/min; non-inferior within a clinically predefined margin).

    “VR-based aerobic rehabilitation provides improvements in functional capacity comparable to conventional cycle ergometer and treadmill training, without compromising safety.”
