VR vs. Conventional Cycling Exercise for Geriatric Inpatient Physical Activation

Not Applicable

• Conditions: Hospital Acquired Condition; Sarcopenia; Treatment Adherence and Compliance; Inactivity, Physical
• Interventions: Device: Virtual reality cycling exercise; Behavioral: Unsupervised stationary cycling exercise

• Registration Number: NCT05123638
• Lead Sponsor: Bispebjerg Hospital

Brief Summary

The aim of this study is to investigate whether virtual reality assisted stationary cycling exercise results in more physical activity than conventional unsupervised stationary cycling exercise. Physical activity levels are reported for both exercise duration and volume and non-exercise activity.

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
Virtual reality cycling exercise	Virtual reality cycling exercise	These patient participants will receive 1 session of unsupervised stationary cycling exercise with the SYNCSENSE VR-technology every weekday of participation and be allowed up to 30min of voluntary exercise pr. session.
Conventional cycling exercise	Unsupervised stationary cycling exercise	These patient participants will receive 1 session of unsupervised stationary cycling exercise on every weekday of participation and be allowed up to 30min of voluntary exercise pr. session.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Voluntary exercise duration	3-14 days	How long the patients choose to exercise with vs. with out VR assistance measured on the stationary bikes internal timer

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Voluntary exercise amount	3-14 days	How much voluntary cycling work does the participants choose to put out during session calculated from the bikes internal counter and external equations
Measures of 24 hour physical activity and sedentary behavior	3-14 days	Measured with 24 hour thigh mounted movement sensor
