Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
spatial learning (composite)
each spatial orientation test length is 5 days. spatial learning is evaluated through time for completion and number of errors out of 3 attempts each day.
20 experimental days for each participant
Secondary Outcomes (1)
maximal aerobic capacity
4 experimental days for each participant
Study Arms (2)
trial group
EXPERIMENTALsubjects in trial group will be following the experimental protocol (VO2max tests and spatial orientation tests) while performing a training program during the trial (3 months).
control group
OTHERfollowing the experimental protocol (VO2max tests and spatial orientation tests)without performing additional exercise.
Interventions
subjects in the trial group will follow a training program which includes 3 times a week running on a treadmill.
each subject will perform 4 times VO2max test according to BRUCE protocol in order to evaluate his aerobic fitness.
each subject will undergo 4 spatial orientation tests during the trial (month between 2 tests), each test is composed of 5 following days in which the subject will wear virtual reality glasses (Oculus Rift DK2) and attempt to arrive different destinations in a virtual maze tasks (using xbox one controller). each day will be given 3 attempts, the duration of each attempt is 2 min.
