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

这项实验研究由南萨大学研究主题投资计划资助，旨在确定关于骑车环境的欺骗性视觉线索是否会影响锻炼体验。它还探讨了个人准确探测内部信号的能力（内感受准确性）是否会影响视觉线索对感知努力或情感效价评级的影响。所有参与者都以随机顺序完成了3个虚拟现实骑行条件（幻觉上坡，平坦地形，幻觉下坡）。< br / >

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.
