Abstract Studying the impact of age is important to understand the phenomenon of aging and the disorders that are associated with it. In this work, we analyze age-related alterations on the capacities to navigate on a bike. For this purpose, we use Cycl´eoONE, a bike simulator, and entropy measures. We thus record navigation data (handlebar angle and speed) during the ride. They are processed with two cross-distribution entropy methods (time-shift multiscale cross-distribution entropy and multiscale cross-distribution entropy). We also analyze the time series with a detrended cross-correlation analysis to determine which method can best underline age-related alterations. Our results show that methods based on cross-distribution entropy may be efficient to stress the decrease in navigation capacities with age. The results are very encouraging for our future goal of adding medical benefits to a leisure equipment. They also show the value of using virtual reality to study the impact of age. Keywords Multiscale cross-entropy · Age · Time series · Irregularity · Complexity

1 Introduction Aging is a complex phenomenon that interacts, unequally, in various parts of the human organism [30]. The A CIFRE grant No 2017/1165 was awarded by ANRT to the company COTTOS M´edical to support the work of graduate student A. Jamin.  Antoine Jamin

age-related cognition deficits can lead lead to difficulties in selecting inherent information and in switching between various tasks [24]. Studying the impact of age allows to understand aging, improves the diagnosis, and helps in identifying solutions to reduce aging effects [3, 21]. Impact of age can be studied by non-invasive, playful, and safe methods through exergames [27]. Virtual reality (VR) offers interesting perspectives to study the impact of age [1, 17]. VR can be used to diagnose and rehabilitate cognitive disorders [5,
