Virtual Reality During Exercise Testing

Study overview

The goal of this clinical trial is to explore the effects of virtual reality use on maximal aerobic exercise test performance (aerobic capacity) in healthy adults. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does using a virtual reality program during a maximal aerobic exercise test lead to differences in VO2peak (maximal aerobic capacity)? and, * Does using a virtual reality program during a maximal aerobic exercise test lead to differences in work rate at the ventilatory threshold? Participants will complete a maximal aerobic exercise test two times (separated by 1 week of recovery) under the following conditions: * normal testing conditions in a lab * while viewing a virtual reality video Researchers will compare the test results of both conditions to see if the use of a virtual reality program alters VO2peak or the ventilatory threshold.

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.
