Meta's VR Exercise Study

According to TapTechNews on June 5th, Meta and a team from the University of Victoria in Canada have published a new paper stating that the exercise that users do at home through VR headsets can meet the physical exercise standards stipulated by the World Health Organization (WHO).

The research was led by Dr. Ryan Rhodes of the University of Victoria in Canada and studied the Flow and Boxing modes on Meta's Supernatural fitness platform, both of which are described as moderate intensity.

The new research findings show that both of these modes belong to vigorous exercise and are beneficial to promoting physical and mental health.

The paper points out that people who engage in 75-150 minutes of moderate to vigorous exercise per week have a lower risk of cancer, type 2 diabetes, ischemic heart disease, and ischemic stroke. Therefore, by playing Supernatural games for 75 minutes or longer per week, the chance of developing these diseases can be reduced.
