Aerobic Based Virtual Reality Exercise Training
With Aerobic Based Virtual Reality Exercise Training, participants will perform aerobic exercise training with the Xbox Kinect 360 game "Your Shape Fitness Evolved 2012". "Your Shape Fitness Evolved 2012" is a game that requires basic coordination and is designed to improve the fitness levels of individuals. The game is used as an entertaining aerobic training tool that includes many aerobic activities such as boxing, yoga, dancing, etc. with adjustable difficulty levels.
Traditional Aerobic Exercise Training
Using a treadmill, participants will be put through an exercise training consisting of a 10-minute warm-up at 0 degree incline, a 20-30-minute (by increasing the walking time by 5 minutes at the end of the first four weeks and the beginning of the last four weeks) walking at 40-80% of the heart rate reserve (moderate-vigorous intensity) and a 10-minute cool-down period. Treadmill walking levels will be changed if necessary to ensure the targeted exercise intensity.
