Brief summary (registry, in English)
The goal of this interventional study is to assess the difference in participants' motivation while performing a virtual reality-based dual-task exercise in a single-player vs. multi-player modality. The populations involved are the following: healthy young adults (14-18 ys.); children and adolescents (12-17 ys.) with motor disorders; older adults with neurological or respiratory conditions. The main questions it aims to answer are: Is a "social" virtual environment better in promoting motivation to perform physical exercise? Is a "social" virtual environment better in promoting involvement, perceived social inclusion, and exercise performance? Forty participants will test the single-player and the multi-player scenarios in a single-session and will rate their experiences with subjective questionnaires. A subgroup of participants (12) will use the multi-player system for 3 weeks/3 times a week.
