摘      要：Virtual reality(VR)seems to have the potential to provide opportunities to promote physical activity(PA)in a fun *** paper aimed to examine the acute effects of three different virtual reality-based exercise bikes on young adults’blood pressure(BP)and feelings compared to a traditional exercise cycling *** exercise sessions(immersive VR cycling,two non-immersive VR cycling,and traditional cycling)were completed by 36 young adults(22 females;Mage=23.6 years).BP was measured immediately before and after each session using a BP cuff and exercise-induced feelings were assessed via an established survey immediately after each ***-cipants’previous experience with VR was used as the covariate in the ANCOVA with repeated ***-icant main effects were observed across cycling sessions for systolic blood pressure[F(2,29)=3.04,p=0.02,(η^(2)=0.38)]and feelings[F(3,32)=7.74,p0.01,η^(2)=.42].In particular,immersive VR and traditional cycling signif-icantly increased systolic blood pressure compared to the two non-immersive VR ***,immersive VR significantly increased feelings compared to the two non-immersive VR sessions,whereas these two non-immersive VR exercises had significantly greater increased feelings compared to traditional cycling,*** suggest immersive VR-based exercise cycling may lead to higher exercise intensities compared to non-immersive VR ***,immersive VR cycling yielded higher feelings compared to non-immersive VR and traditional ***,immersive VR-based exercise can be a fun and physically active health promotion tool among young adults.
