Motivation While Doing Physical Exercise in a Social Dual-task Virtual Environment

"Pairs of participants are formed, who will be the SocialBike players; these pairs consist of users from the same center. The two players are in the same room where two replicas of the SocialBike system are installed.~The participants can each view, on their own screen, the virtual scenario, either a park or a city environment. Movement within these VR environments is synchronized with the patient's actual pedaling speed, measured in revolutions per minute (RPM) from the cycle ergometer. Movement occurs along a predefined path. The participant's heart rate will always be monitored.~The therapist chooses the optimal ergometer workload, the type of exercise, and social/single-player mode. Each session (either single- or multi-player mode) lasts 10 minutes. The available exercise are: Find the intruder (go/no-go task); Prepare your Meal (spatial attention); Watch the road (working memory)."
