Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Inhibition performance: Changes in Stroop test performance

    The computerized Stroop test will be administrated to assess participants' cognitive functions, and their changes in reaction time and accuracy will be examined.

    30 minutes each at the pretest and posttest

  • Changes in neuroelectrical activities

    The neuroelectrical activities during the computerized cognitive tasks will be recorded. The changes in the event-related potential (e.g., P3) will be analyzed.

    30 minutes each at the pretest and posttest

Secondary Outcomes (3)

  • Changes in physical activity enjoyment

    5-10 minutes each at the pretest and posttest

  • Changes in motivation

    3-5 minutes each at the pretest and posttest

  • Changes in emotion

    5-10 minutes each at the pretest and posttest

Study Arms (4)

aerobic exercise group (AE)

EXPERIMENTAL

35-min cycling at moderate intensity (50-60% heart rate reserve).

Behavioral: aerobic exercise group (AE)

aerobic exercise with virtual reality group (AE-VR)

EXPERIMENTAL

35-min cycling at moderate intensity (50-60% heart rate reserve) with 3D virtual reality.

Behavioral: aerobic exercise with virtual reality group (AE-VR)

combined exercise group (CE)

EXPERIMENTAL

This 35-min exercise combines aerobic, bodyweight exercise, and meditation.

Behavioral: combined exercise group (CE)

control group

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

It has a 35-minute video about exercise science.

Behavioral: Control group

Interventions

The participants will ride the cycle ergometer for 35 minutes. The training consisted of a 5-minute warm-up period followed by 25 minutes of moderate exercise and a 5-minute recovery.

aerobic exercise group (AE)

The participants will receive the 3D VR training program and ride the cycle ergometer at the same time. The training protocol is similar to the aerobic exercise group.

aerobic exercise with virtual reality group (AE-VR)

The intervention consists of 5-minutes aerobic warm-up, 25-minutes bodyweight exercise, and 5-minutes mindfulness meditation for recovery. The participants will follow the video to do the program.
