Virtual Reality (VR) in Sports (using handball as an Example)
Keywords:
Video analysis, VR in sports, Wearable devices, Coordination trainingAbstract
The article discusses the use of virtual reality (VR) technologies in sports, in particular in handball, as well as their effectiveness and advantages. Virtual reality technologies help coaches and athletes simulate game situations, develop tactical thinking, increase the speed of decision-making and improve strategic preparation. The possibilities of monitoring the physical condition of athletes, creating individual training plans and preventing excessive loads using wearable devices (fitness trackers and special sensors) will also be analyzed.
The article also notes the importance of training coordination and reflexes. These techniques help develop foot speed, balance and reflexes. The use of light and sound signals trains athletes to make quick decisions in difficult conditions. The introduction of technological innovations in handball will help improve the efficiency of not only individual athletes, but also the entire team.
The study examined the theoretical and practical aspects of using various modern methods and technologies, and gave recommendations for improving their effectiveness. At the end of the article, a list of important literature is provided, allowing for a more in-depth study of the topic.
