About this study

Official title: Improvement of Motivation for Physical Activity in an Institutionalized Geriatric Population Thanks to a Virtual Environment: Comparison of Motivation Between Classic Bike and Bike With Virtual Environment

The purpose of this study is to test the interest of a virtual environment with cycling to increase the motivation of physical activity practice in institutionalized older adults.

Read the detailed description

The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends for people aged 65 years and over a weekly practice of at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity endurance activities or at least 75 minutes of activity. endurance of sustained intensity, or an equivalent combination of moderate and sustained activity. However, the attractiveness for physical activity fades over the years limiting the practice of physical activity. Several types of unconventional approaches have already shown their effectiveness in the prevention of falls in the elderly but these practices find their limits in the lack of adherence to this type of exercise, especially in nursing homes. New virtual reality and gaming technologies have recently emerged and are being used as tools to prevent the risk of falling. The use of these new tools has advantages over conventional exercises: motivating.

The investigators aimed to test the interest of a virtual environment with cycling to increase the motivation of physical activity practice in institutionalized older adults.

cycling groupThey attended three sessions of exercise on three different conditions : a classic ergometric bicycle without chairback, an ergometric bicycle with chairback with virtual environment and the other session without virtual environment

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Cycling distance in meters

    Primary outcome was the cycling distance measured at each session without encouragement

    Measured: 3 months

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Time spent pedaling in seconds per session

    Measure of the time spent pedaling per session without encouragement

    Measured: 3 months

  2. The average speed in meters per second per session

    Measure of the average cycling speed per session without encouragement.

    Measured: 3 months

  3. Mean pedaling cadence per session in revolutions per minute

    Measure of the average pedaling cadence per session without encouragement.

    Measured: 3 months

  4. Borg rating of perceived exertion scale

    Measure of the perceived exertion after each cycling session with Borg rating of perceived exertion scale. Range 0-10. Ten corresponding to the maximal perceived exertion

    Measured: 3 months

  5. Mean pedaling power per session in Watts

    Measure of the pedaling power per session without encouragement

    Measured: 3 months

  6. Closed-ended question to know which condition they would prefer for a futur exercise session.

    Participant were asked at the end of the third session, which condition they would prefer for a futur exercice session. Possible answers: "Classic ergometric bicycle Kettler E3)", "Cycleo without virtual environment", "Cycleo with virtual environment", "None".

    Measured: 3 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Motivation and Fall, run by University Hospital, Caen at 1 site in France.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in France. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Cycling distance in meters (time frame: 3 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 3 Oct 2022.
