Brief summary
The aim of this study is to investigate whether virtual reality assisted stationary cycling exercise results in more physical activity than conventional unsupervised stationary cycling exercise. Physical activity levels are reported for both exercise duration and volume and non-exercise activity.
Interventions
DEVICEVirtual reality cycling exercise
Daily voluntary cycling for up to 30 minutes with the virtual reality technology
BEHAVIORALUnsupervised stationary cycling exercise
Daily voluntary cycling for up to 30 minutes (WITHOUT the virtual reality technology)

Masking description
Since there is only a single investigator conducting this study and due to the nature of exercise intervention, it is impossible to facilitate masking terms in this trial.
Intervention model description
Stratified randomization (based os Cumulated-Ambulation Score of 6 vs. \<6) of geriatric inpatients to either VR assisted stationary cycling exercise or conventional stationary cycling exercise.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Voluntary exercise duration | 3-14 days | How long the patients choose to exercise with vs. with out VR assistance measured on the stationary bikes internal timer |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Voluntary exercise amount | 3-14 days | How much voluntary cycling work does the participants choose to put out during session calculated from the bikes internal counter and external equations |
| Measures of 24 hour physical activity and sedentary behavior | 3-14 days | Measured with 24 hour thigh mounted movement sensor |
