The influence of deceptive visual cues and of interoception on affective valence and perceived exertion when cycling using a virtual reality bike

这项实验研究由南非大学研究主题投资计划资助，旨在确定关于骑自行车环境的欺骗性视觉线索是否会影响锻炼体验。它还探索了个体准确检测内部信号的能力(内感准确性)是否会影响视觉线索对感知努力或情感效价的评级的影响。所有参与者按随机顺序完成3种虚拟现实骑行条件(虚幻上坡、平坦地形、虚幻下坡)。<br/> <br/> 在虚幻的条件下，参与者在虚拟环境中看到了山丘，但自行车阻力没有改变，踏板节奏保持不变(体力保持不变)。主要结果是对骑车过程中的体力消耗和骑车过程中的情感效价进行评级。与该项目相关的数据是在南澳大利亚州阿德莱德的南澳大利亚大学临床试验中心收集的。

This experimental study, funded by UniSA Research Themes Investment Scheme, seeks to identify whether deceptive visual cues about the cycling environment can influence exercise experiences. It also explored whether an individual's ability to accurately detect internal signals (interoceptive accuracy) influences the effect of visual cues on ratings of perceived exertion or affective valence. All participants completed 3 virtual reality cycling conditions in a randomised order (illusory uphills, flat terrain, illusory downhills).<br /> <br /> In the illusory conditions, the participants viewed hills in the virtual environment, but cycle resistance did not change and pedal cadence was held constant (physical effort held constant). Primary outcomes were ratings of perceived exertion during cycling and affective valence during cycling. The data associated with this project were collected at the Clinical Trials Centre at the University of South Australia in Adelaide, SA.
