Description: Project Narrative This project will study how virtual reality augmented bicycling using visual feedback and competition will increase exercise intensity, motivation, and enjoyment for persons with Parkinson's Disease. The short-term goal of the study is to select exercise strategies that yield the highest intensity and promote greatest motivation. The long- term goal is to design optimal exercise training programs that are accessible and promote mobility and fitness for persons with Parkinson's Disease so they may maintain a high-level of activity, participation and well-being.
