Researchers are harnessing the power of virtual reality (VR) to motivate individuals in South Australia who have intellectual disabilities to engage in regular physical exercise. This groundbreaking initiative uses a cutting-edge gaming programme that aims to instill positive exercise habits and reduce the heightened risk of early-onset cardiovascular diseases, strokes, and heart attacks among this demographic.
This VR-based exercise programme spans eight weeks and targets 16 participants affiliated with the second-largest employer of people with disability in Australia.
