“…Some of them are compatible with training devices such as multi-directional treadmills, cycloergometers, rowing simulators, etc. It was proven that locomotive movements promote enhanced physical effort, increase immersion and receive positive user assessment [16,17,[26][27][28][29]. In connection with this fact, research is beginning to be undertaken in connection with the analysis of movement in VR [30][31][32].…”

Immersive virtual reality (VR) is increasingly applied in various areas of life. The potential of this technology has also been noticed in recreational physical activity and sports. It appears that a virtual environment can also be used in diagnosing certain psychomotor abilities. The main aim of this study consisted of assessing the relevance and reliability of VR-implemented tests of simple and complex reaction time (RT) performed by mixed martial arts (MMA) fighters. Thirty-two professional MMA fighters were tested. The original test developed in the virtual environment was applied for RT assessment. The fighters’ task consisted of reacting to the lighting up of a virtual disc situated in front of them by pushing a controller button. The relevance of the test task was estimated by juxtaposing the obtained results with the classic computer test used for measuring simple and complex reactions, while its reliability was assessed with the intraclass correlation procedure. Significant relationships found between the results of VR-implemented tests and computer-based tests confirmed the relevance of the new tool for the assessment of simple and complex RT. In the context of their reliability, RT tests in VR do not differ from tests conducted with the use of standard computer-based tools. VR technology enables the creation of tools that are useful in diagnosing psychomotor abilities. Reaction time tests performed by MMA fighters with the use of VR can be considered relevant, and their reliability is similar to the reliability obtained in computer-based tests.

“…A VR game for the elderly with Alzheimer's and cognitive impairment involves rowing scenes [51]. The VR rowing games aimed at professional training have a few things in common: (1) a rowing machine is used as an external device to simulate the real rowing movement; (2) the use of posture and movement parts are relatively fixed, for full-body movement in a seated position (except the study by Shim et al, for stance [52]); (3) the real-time monitoring of biofeedback data to analyse and adjust training, such as breathing [53] and heart rate [7,54]; (4) no definite presentation device preference, immersive VR (HMD or CAVE) [6,55] and non-immersive VR (large screen) are mentioned [7]; (5) the cooperative and competitive relationships in real rowing games are designed in VR rowing games [52].…”

“…Relevant elderly XR games have focused on the treatment/rehabilitation/prevention of specific diseases by physical training (such as [3][4][5], which may exclude some users who are not at risk of such diseases. Moreover, XR exercise games (especially XR rowing games) usually do not target the elderly user (such as [6][7][8]), which might ignore the significant differences between the elderly and other age groups, such as motor, cognitive, and perceptual differences, thereby affecting the acceptance and satisfaction among the elderly users [9]. Unlike the above studies, our research paid attention to elderly general physical workouts by applying VR techniques and game technology and designing a targeted VR exercise game for this group in particular.…”

Facing the increasingly serious ageing problem, IT technology is being applied more and more to alleviate the increasing health demands of the elderly. Virtual reality (VR) games, in particular, have been shown to benefit the physical and mental health of the elderly. However, almost all consumer-level VR games address the general user, not considering the characteristics of the elderly, such as their particular needs regarding cognitive aspects and safety. In addition, the existing VR rowing games’ research typically focuses on athlete training or is based on a rowing machine. Extending on previous research, this paper proposes a conceptual design of a VR rowing game, VRrowing to provide a home exercise game for the elderly which benefits both physical and mental health. This research first analysed the relevant literature and existing VR exercise games for the elderly to find characteristics and their particular needs. Then, following design principles (in exercise games, human–computer interaction, and user interfaces (UIs)) for the elderly, this study proposed a conceptual design of VRrowing through the MDA framework (standing for mechanics, dynamics, and aesthetics). The results cover the system architecture, activities and tasks, patterns and roles, mechanics and structures, and UI examples. Based on comprehensive consideration of the results from relevant research and fostering strengths and circumventing weaknesses, VRrowing was designed as a sports game, aimed at the elderly according to their characteristics and needs, which fills the void of home VR rowing games for seniors’ exercise. This research has reference value for scientific research or development personnel in VR game applications and evaluations, especially for such games targeting the elderly.

“…Exergames is an integration of the sports interactive video game with various innovative exertion-based interfaces. There are various type of task activity in VR exergame studies, such as cycling (Michael & Lutteroth, 2020), rowing (Shoib et al, 2020), running (Perrin et al, 2019), fighting (Xu, Ma, et al, 2020), soccer (Wirth et al, 2020a), and many more. However, cycling seems to be the most popular VR exergame to be conducted in recent years (Neumann et al, 2018).…”

Nowadays, people are busy with gadgets, social media and playing video games that tends their bodies to physically inactive. However, Virtual Reality (VR) exergaming in literature has proven to be one of the best solutions to encourage these sedentary people to live in a healthier lifestyle. Exergaming refers to a combination of video games with a physical exercise that rely on the technology that can track body movement. Hence, this project aims to develop a cycling exergame that integrate with HTC Vive hand controller in VR. There are four phases have been carried out namely (i) problem investigation, (ii) designing the game structure, (iii) implementation of VR cycling exergame, and (iv) testing and evaluation. The usability testing results shows the users feedback on the development of VR Exergame for cycling in terms of the user interface design, player interaction, difficulty of the game and user satisfaction in understanding the game. The user acceptance testing results shows that this game works accordingly, however there are some suggestion and expectation from user that can be measured for improvement and enhancement in future works. Based on the result, this project is successfully produced a cycling exergame in VR and significantly improve the user experience in VR.
