简要总结
This study is evaluating the effects of riding on a cycle ergometer while experiencing virtual reality to determine its effect on mood.
详细描述
Adults (males and females) above the age of 18 yrs will be recruited to determine if they have symptoms of depression based on a questionnaire (Center for Epidemiologic Studies - Depression Scale (CES-D). They will then complete a Beck Inventory before and after the exercise. Participants will be divided into groups either having symptoms of depression or not. They will be randomized to ride on a cycle ergometer with or without using Virtual Reality (VR) that will allow them to view neighborhoods or parks during the exercise. The ergometer will be set at resistance raising the heart rate to 65% of their age-predicted heart rate maximum. They will ride for 20 min and then complete the Beck Inventory to determine any changes in their depressive symptoms.

结局指标
主要结局
Spatial Working Memory (SWM)
时间窗: 8 minutes
A measure of the key aspects of working memory and storage of information over short periods of time.
Beck Depression Inventory Scale of Measurement
时间窗: 5 minutes
Assessment of symptoms of depression pre and post-intervention cycle exercise. The Beck Depression Inventory is a 21-item, multiple-choice, self-report survey that measures characteristic attitudes and symptoms of depression. The score range is 0-63. The higher the score the more severe the depression. Scores above 41 are considered "extreme depression."
Neuropsychological Outcomes: Motor Screen Tasks (MOT)
时间窗: 3 minutes
MOT provides a general indication that psychomotor function is intact enough to proceed with more sophisticated cognitive testing:
