Fourteen exergaming older adults participated. Competitiveness was assessed prior to the start of exercise. Participants were trained to ride a “cybercycle;” a virtual reality-enhanced stationary bike with interactive competition. After establishing a cybercycling baseline, competitive avatars were introduced. Pedaling effort (watts) was assessed. Repeated measures ANOVA revealed a significant group (high vs low competitiveness) X time (pre- to post-avatar) interaction (F[1,12] = 13.1, P = 0.003). Virtual social facilitation increased exercise effort among more competitive exercisers. Exercise programs that match competitiveness may maximize exercise effort.Keywords: exercise, aging, virtual reality, competitiveness, social facilitation, exercise intensityAnderson-Hanley CSnyder ALNimon JPArciero PJDove Medical Pressarticleexerciseagingvirtual realitycompetitivenesssocial facilitationexercise intensityGeriatricsRC952-954.6ENClinical Interventions in Aging, Vol Volume 6, Pp 275-280 (2011)
