To determine effects of VR training on Heart Rate Variability (HRV), Recovery Heart rate (RHR), Rate Pressure Product (RPP) and Rate of Perceived Exertion (RPE) in sedentary Individuals. Sedentary behavior is a significant public health concern associated with various chronic diseases and reduced quality of life. By elucidating the potential of virtual reality training as an innovative approach to promote physical activity and improve cardiovascular health, this research contributes to addressing the growing burden of sedentary lifestyle-related health conditions.
Virtual reality (VR) training in cardiopulmonary rehabilitation (CR) offers an innovative approach to traditional exercise programs by incorporating enjoyable activities. Utilizing VR enhances cardiopulmonary endurance training and promotes the beneficial effects of CR by engaging patients in fun and challenging activities. This approach aims to increase motivation and adherence to CR over an extended period, resulting in improved mental and physical outcomes compared to conventional CR programs

| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Heart Rate Variability (HRV) | From baseline till 2nd, 4th, and 6th weeks measured through wireless ECG device which measures inter-beat (RR) intervals while doing physical activities. In adults , average HRV is 42 milliseconds. | 2 weeks, 4 weeks, 6 weeks |
| Recovery Heart Rate | From baseline till 2nd, 4th, and 6th weeks measured through pulse oximeter. One-minute HRR for the average person is between 15 to 25 bpm, with a higher number indicating a quicker recovery and a potentially healthier heart. | 2 weeks, 4 weeks, 6 weeks |
| Rate Pressure Product | Changes from baseline to 2 weeks, 4 weeks and 6 weeks after the intervention, measured through product of heart rate and systolic blood pressure, is a very reliable indicator of myocardial oxygen demand. An RPP above 20,000 mmHg per minute is considered healthy, whereas anything below 16,000 mmHg is considered insufficient. | 2 weeks, 4 weeks, 6 weeks |
| Rating of Perceived Exertion (RPE) | Changes from baseline to 2 weeks, 4 weeks and 6 weeks after the intervention, measured through Borg RPE scale for measuring an individual's effort and exertion, breathlessness and fatigue during physical work. The RPE scale ranges from 6 to 20, each gradually related to the respondent's perceived exertion level. | 2 weeks, 4 weeks, 6 weeks |
