This study aims to compare the effectiveness of learning teamwork skills (i.e., perspective-taking, synchrony, and communication) with VR devices against conventional dragon boat race training. Here, a total of 344 athletes from the National University of Physical Education and Sports of Ukraine were divided into two groups. Students in one group were using VR devices to practice, while students in the other group received traditional training. The data collection instruments comprised self-report assessment questionnaires. The present findings suggest that VR-based training is more effective in developing synchrony than conventional methods. Future research may consider other aquatics disciplines and expand the possibilities of sports training.
本研究旨在比较使用虚拟现实(VR)设备学习团队合作技能(即换位思考、同步和沟通)与传统龙舟比赛训练的效果。在此,乌克兰国立体育大学的344名运动员被分为两组。一组学生使用VR设备进行练习,而另一组学生接受传统训练。数据收集工具包括自我报告评估问卷。目前的研究结果表明,基于VR的训练在培养同步性方面比传统方法更有效。未来的研究可以考虑其他水上运动项目,并拓展运动训练的可能性。
