Purpose The aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of Virtual Reality (VR) cycling as an intervention for physique improvement in simple obese college students. Methods A literature review, questionnaire survey, and 12-week experimental comparison were conducted using mathematical statistical methods on 41 simple obese college students in Nanjing, China. Results The results showed that 12 weeks of VR cycling had a significant effect on fat loss and shaping in simple obese college students. The weight, BMI, waist circumference, hip circumference, and waist-to-body ratio decreased by 5.25%, 5.22%, 4.44%, 2.44%, and 2.1%, respectively, while lung capacity increased by 9.15%. Significant differences were observed within 10%, 5%, and 1%. Moreover, there were gender-based differences in the morphological changes. Men's abdominal fat consumption was slightly greater than that of women, resulting in a significant reduction in the waist and buttocks of men compared to women. Conclusion The study concludes that VR cycling is a more engaging and interesting intervention for fat loss and shaping than traditional aerobic exercise. By adjusting the exercise time and course difficulty, participants are more likely to adhere to the exercise regimen, leading to significant weight loss and other positive outcomes. The results of this study could be useful for designing effective interventions to improve the physique of obese individuals.
