Investigation of the feasibility of virtually group-based e-biking training at home. Individuals aged 13-60 years with CP (Cerebral Palsy) with a Gross Motor Function Classification System score of 1-3 were recruited for a 12-week home-based e-biking training program.
All participants should be able to use a touchscreen, as this type of technology is used in the virtual e-biking training. Participants complete a questionnaire and subsequently engage in 12 weeks of home-based virtual e-biking training. A loaned bicycle will be provided for the training period and set up in the participants' own homes. Setup and adjustments will be performed by trained healthcare personnel. The following measurements will be taken before and after the training period: weight, height, hip-waist measurements, blood pressure, a 30-second sit-to-stand test, a timed-up-and-go test, ankle measurements, and a functional threshold power test (FTP). Seven accelerometers will be attached to the right and left arms, thighs, lower legs, and sternum using NJaP patches and worn for 72 hours at the beginning and end of the training period. The accelerometers can be easily removed after 72 hours.
The e-biking intervention consists of 3 sessions per week at the beginning of the study and gradually increases over the training period to 6 sessions per week, with three of these sessions being online and group-supervised.
