Faculty and students are preparing for research on virtual reality and exercise.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Transylvania University students not only will be getting paid to play video games, but they’ll get exercise as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Forty students are being recruited for a study that will explore the health and wellness benefits of VR gaming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Professors JJ Wallace (exercise science), Bethany Jurs (neuroscience and psychology) and Mark Jackson (psychology) will conduct the study with key support from students Addison Domine, Mira Monk and Sophia Narramore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the research, which has been funded by the school’s Digital Liberal Arts program<\/a>, participants will do things like play a VR game for 30 minutes while their heart rate is recorded \u2014 they’ll also have their reaction times tested.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wallace described it as a “foundationary investigation establishing changes in motivation, attitude and physiological responses resulting from virtual reality ‘exergaming.'”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Students interested in participating should contact professor Wallace<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The study comes on the heels of Transylvania’s announcement earlier this week that the school will launch an esports team<\/a> next academic year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
