School-Based Virtual Reality Programming for Obtaining Moderate-Intensity Exercise Among Children With Disabilities: Pre-Post Feasibility Study
This study identified factors to inform an optimal protocol for implementing a high school-based VR exercise program for children with disabilities. Study findings demonstrated that moderate exercise at school is feasible in VR, but simply providing children with VR exergaming technology at home, without coaching, will not successfully engage them in exercise.
