Presentation Title: "Virtual Reality, how does it fit into the world of fitness and research?"

Abstract:

Many variables go into our individual level of fitness and health. There is a strong push to engage in 150 minutes of moderate activity a week. While this might not seem like much it can be challenging to fit into a busy college schedule. For some people the challenge is finding a way to make fitness fun. Dr. Vago's research looks at the cardiorespiratory impact of engaging in Virtual Reality. She will also share the journey of her current student research assistants and their insight into the world of research. This presentation will include audience engagement and potentially trials of the Oculus VR.
