Development and Evaluation of TRIVEL Smart Bike Training Prescription Programs.

Aging | Mobility Limitation

This pilot A-B study aims to develop and validate personalized training programs for older adults with decreased mobility on a Semi-Reclining Intelligent Stationary Bike prototype.

The study also aims to assess the feasibility and acceptability of the training programs and to document their preliminary effects on physical health, perceived well-being, and quality of life. Ten participants will take part in five personalized training sessions with the intelligent bike and five standard training sessions with a traditional stationary bike.
