dc.description.abstractBackground: There is little research reporting whether navigating while cycling impacts concurrent cognitive tasks that are negligibly related to navigation tasks. Methods/Design: A 3-way ANOVA with two repeated measures (3 x 2 x 2) was used to compare 48 adults, aged 18-71, on memory recall of sequences of 42 monosyllabic words while At-Rest and while Riding an interactive stationary exercise cycle, in the presence and absence of an arithmetic distraction, across three groups of navigation: Gauges (n=17), Touring (n=17) and Gaming (n=14). Results: Sequential word recall varied with Touring and Gaming but not Gauge Monitoring, for resting and riding where distraction was present as well as where distraction was absent. The difference between the presence and absence of a distraction was also significant. Conclusion: Cognitive performance was negatively impacted by virtual navigation tasks when riding a stationary cycle, the more so when an arithmetic distraction was present.en_US
