VR Stimulation of Exercise Response in Sedentary Humans

This study is exploring whether virtual reality (VR) can mimic the benefits of exercise for people who are mostly inactive. Researchers are comparing 20 minutes of cycling exercise to 20 minutes of virtual cycling. The goal is to see if VR can help improve health markers like blood glucose and HbA1C (a measure of average blood sugar over time) after 10 weeks. You may be able to join if you are between 25 and 40 years old, have specific blood glucose or HbA1C levels, and are not currently exercising regularly. The study aims to enroll 48 participants.
