“…These findings are in accordance with previous results highlighting the effectiveness of virtual reality-based physical education for both children and adults ( 20 ). Indeed, adult studies have highlighted the ability of such programs to improve cognitive function ( 21 – 22 ), emotional regulation, and dietary habits. Such programs have also demonstrated effectiveness in promoting physical activity and improving both balance and cognitive function in older adults ( 23 ).…”

Background: This study aimed to verify the effectiveness of a virtual reality-based physical education program on physical fitness among Korean elementary school students. Methods: The study, conducted at a public school in South Korea in the second semester of 2022, included experimental and control groups of 45 participants each (N=90). All participants underwent physical fitness tests before and after the experiment. The students assigned to the experimental group participated in the virtual reality-based physical education program three times a week for a total of 8 weeks (40 minutes per session), while those assigned to the control group did not participate in any exercise program. The effect size was confirmed using Cohen's d, and a two-way repeated measures analysis of variance was used to analyze changes in physical factors before and after the experiment for each group. Results: Among the male participants, we observed significant differences in overall health-related physical fitness, cardiorespiratory endurance, muscular strength and endurance, and power between the experimental and control groups (P<0.05). Among the female participants, we observed significant differences in overall health-related physical fitness, cardiorespiratory endurance, flexibility, and muscular strength and endurance between the groups (P<0.05). Conclusion: Virtual reality-based physical education may help to improve indicators of physical fitness among elementary school students, especially among those who have experienced deterioration of physical fitness during the COVID-19 pandemic. Our results, therefore, highlight the need to establish virtual reality-based physical education facilities at the elementary school level in Korea.

“…On the other hand, research by Gani et al (2023), confirms that the power of VR and AR was based on virtual animation, which can trigger athletes more interest and willing to be involved in the training process. In this modern football training, utilizing VR can create a training process by providing a visual, immersive and interactive simulation of the environment, thus this can attract athletes to be more enthusiastic (Sauchelli & Brunstrom, 2022), vigor and absorption in training sessions (Farley, Spencer & Baudinet, 2020). Other studies also explained that VR as an innovation in the training scope that has a positive effect for people who used it (Lee & Kim, 2018;Ng, Ma, Ho, Ip & Fu, 2019;Mcclure & Schofield, 2020).…”

Objective: Nowadays, the implemenatation of technology shows enhancement in sports such as VR. However, the effectiveness of VR in increasing the level of sports engagement and technical skills in football athletes still need to be studied further, which is the gap in this study. This study aims to identify the effect of VR on increasing the level of sports engagement and technical skills in junior football athletes. Methods: This study adopted a randomized control trial for 12 weeks. Forty male athletes from Yogyakarta State University (Indonesia) were involved in this study. Sports engagement was measured with Sport Engagement Scale and technical skills through shooting and passing tests. The Mann–Whitney U test is used to test the difference in values for each variable. Results: The main findings showed that VR increased the level of sports engagement (p<0.05) and technical skills (p<0.05). Conclusion: Thus, this study highlights the importance of VR in football and it was proven that VR contibuted a positive power to change the level of sports engagement and technical skills. Keywords: Athlete performance, sport technology, competitive sport

“…The virtual reality cycling (VRC) program is a type of VR rehabilitation, which simulates outdoor cycling in a virtual world by changing the cycling scenery projected onto the HMD according to the rotation of the ergometer pedals. In recent years, there has been an increasing number of studies on the VRC, which has been reported to cause less fatigue and more enjoyment and self-efficacy in subjects than bicycle ergometers [7][8][9][10][11][12]. Longitudinal studies have also reported increased exercise participation and fitness with the VRC than with bicycle ergometers, suggesting that the VRC may be a way to solve exercise problems [12].…”

Introduction: Virtual reality cycling (VRC) is simulated outdoor cycling with changes in scenery in virtual reality (VR) with rotating ergometer pedals. The speed at which the scenery changes, which is the visual flow velocity, can shift according to the same pedal rotation speed. Objectives: This study investigated the effects of different visual flow velocities on the psychophysiological responses of cyclists using the VRC. Methods: Participants were asked to cycle for 20 min at 30% of their maximum exercise load under four conditions: (1) bicycle ergometer without VR (control), (2) VRC at normal visual flow velocity (VRC-normal), (3) VRC at 0.5 times the visual flow velocity of VRC-normal (VRC-slow), and (4) VRC at 1.5 times the visual flow velocity of VRC-normal (VRC-fast). The order of the four conditions was randomized in a counterbalanced design. The heart rate and rating of perceived exertion were recorded during the exercise. Participants graded their enjoyment of the task using the physical activity enjoyment scale (PACES). The measured data were analyzed by comparing the visual flow velocity conditions (VRC-slow, VRC-normal, and VRC-fast), and comparing the VRC and bicycle ergometer (VRC-normal and control). Results: A total of 24 participants were enrolled in the study. There was a significant main effect observed in the PACES score (F (2,46) =20.129, p<0.001, partial η 2 =0.467). In the post-hoc test for the PACES, significant differences were found in the following combinations: VRC-normal > VRC-slow (p=0.005); VRC-fast > VRC-normal (p=0.003); and VRC-fast > VRC-slow (p<0.001). In the modified Borg scale for lower-limb fatigue, there were significant differences in time factor (F (2,46) =134.048, p<0.001, partial η 2 =0.854) and interaction effects (F (4,92) =3.156, p=0.018, partial η 2 =0.121). In the post-hoc test for the modified Borg scale, significant trends were found in the following combinations: VRC-normal > VRC-fast (p=0.068) and VRC-slow > VRC-fast (p=0.083). Conclusion: The results suggest that a slower visual flow velocity may reduce the enjoyment of exercise, whereas a faster visual flow velocity may make the exercise feel less fatigued and more enjoyable.
