“…The CPC Central Committee and the State Council have successively issued and implemented "healthy China 2030" program outline, national fitness implementation plan, and other program outlines [3]. At the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China and the 13th National Games, General Secretary Xi also constantly emphasized the important role and significance of developing mass sports [4]. In this context, our citizens have a new understanding of the importance of physical exercise to health.…”

With the rapid development of science and technology and economy, it has a great impact on people’s lifestyle and habits. Fewer and fewer people will actually carry out offline sports activities, and some will choose gyms and other places for offline exercise, but the high cost of gyms limits most people’s desire to exercise. Our country has been actively introducing policies or measures to advocate physical exercise, but people’s enthusiasm is not high or improper training leads to frequent physical injury. In view of the current situation and pain points of sports skill training, this paper first discusses the possibility of the overall application of virtual reality technology based on artificial intelligence in sports skill training. Secondly, it explores the application of virtual reality technology based on artificial intelligence in tennis, which is a highly skilled sports training. Finally, combined with the practical application of virtual reality technology based on artificial intelligence in sports skills training, it proves the advantages and influence of applying virtual reality technology based on artificial intelligence in sports skills training in the future.

BACKGROUND Virtual Reality (VR) interventions have demonstrated efficacy for more than a decade for mood and anxiety disorders, and emerging evidence suggests they can reduce pain symptoms in both acute and chronic pain. More recently these interventions have abounded within the commercial and academic sector, immersing participants within a virtual environment to confer health benefits to users. Immersion produced through VR can facilitate delivery of health interventions by isolating participants from distractors and stressors in a therapeutic environment. While recent studies of VR interventions have exploded, they not been uniform in approach or device type, limiting generalizability. Recent scoping reviews on VR and chronic pain have focused on specific diseases or limited inquiries to specific interventions or study types. OBJECTIVE The objective of our scoping review was to generate new knowledge about the sum total of VR studies in chronic pain with specific emphasis on the methods and results of each study, including (1) the type of interventions, (2) outcomes chosen, (3) samples studied, and (4) data generated. METHODS A scoping review was performed of the literature on virtual reality and chronic pain to describe themes associated with the literature to date and identify important gaps and unanswered questions to guide future research. CINAHL and Pubmed were queried for terms “virtual reality” and “pain”, providing studies of chronic pain adult participants using VR delivered through headset displays. A descriptive–analytical method was used to extract data, compare studies, and contextualize the presented outcomes. Articles were categorized into several themes including type of intervention, outcomes chosen, participant characteristics, degree to which immersion was achieved and adverse effect monitoring and reporting. RESULTS A total of 36 articles were included in our analysis. We summarize the literature using five themes: 1) heterogeneity of chronic pain types, 2) highly variable intervention types, 3) highly variable secondary and exploratory outcomes, 4) immersion was highly variable between studies and not systemically explored in many articles, and 5) side effect monitoring was limited. CONCLUSIONS We found that the literature on VR in chronic pain is highly variable and lacks theoretical rigor. While there is emerging evidence that supports VR use in a wide variety of health conditions including chronic pain, future research should focus on producing theoretically rigorous work that focuses on mechanisms and that systematically assesses side effects in order to generate robust generalizable knowledge.
