Abstract
The purpose of this study is to find out the effect of sports virtual training with applied sports science and information and communication technology (ICT) for adults. We have developed a 4-week workout program that focuses on improving basic endurance, strength, and function. The experiment is to derive the kinematic data for ergonomic evaluation of indoor sports device combined with a virtual image and to compare and evaluate the pre- and post-body composition. Twenty-one participants were selected, and each training program was conducted considering individual differences and levels. Results showed that 4-week sports virtual reality (VR) training program developed in this study turned out to be appropriate as a sport VR training one to improve body composition and health. Although it is difficult to generalize the effect to all human, it is meaningful to study some ways of reducing the heterogeneity and improving the training efficiency in the situation where the sports VR system is gradually being applied to the exercise.
Highlights
virtual reality (VR) technology provides immersion and fun to operators and a positive effect of increasing learning effectiveness in the field of education and training [1, 2]
3 Results and discussion The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of sports VR training
4 Conclusions We investigated the effects of 4-week sports VR training which is a type of VR game-based program
Summary
VR (virtual reality) technology provides immersion and fun to operators and a positive effect of increasing learning effectiveness in the field of education and training [1, 2]. 2D, 3D, or HMD (head mounted display)-based VRs are applied to existing mechanical fitness device to increase exercise immersion and eliminate boredom. In this case, due to the image fatigue caused by the VR image, a physical imbalance may be induced after the end of the exercise. Research on the effect of VR-applied sports device on physical exercise ones other than mental influences has not been actively conducted yet. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of sports VR training (4-week aerobic/anaerobic exercise) for body composition, which provides theoretically the exercise program for effective health care
