Abstract

Background: There is an urgent need to explore innovative training methods that can improve the physical condition and back-row attack performance of junior volleyball players. Despite its great potential, Virtual Reality (VR) is still underutilized in youth sports training.Aims: This study aims to test the effectiveness of VR-based training in improving physical conditioning and back-row attack quality.Method: A quasi-experimental design was employed with 24 junior volleyball athletes aged 14 to 16. The participants underwent VR-based training three times a week for six weeks, with each 45-minute session consisting of a 15-minute warm-up, a 30-minute training session, and a 5-minute cool-down. Measurement tools included vertical jump tests, 20-meter sprints, Illinois agility tests, and structured observations to evaluate physical performance and back-row attack effectiveness. Data were analyzed using paired t-tests and multiple linear regression.Result: The results showed significant improvements in vertical jump height (d = −8.18), sprint time (d = 2.42), agility score (d = 3.32), and back row attack (d = −3.32) at p 0.001. Structured observations revealed improvements in the accuracy, timing, and coordination of back-row attacks. Regression analysis revealed that a better physical condition, particularly in terms of jumping and agility, significantly contributed to improved back-row attack performance (R² = 0.876, p 0.001).Conclusion: These findings suggest that VR-based training can effectively enhance physical condition and technical performance in back-row attacks, likely due to the immersive simulation environment supporting enhanced motor learning and situational awareness.

Abstract

Background: Evidence indicates that cricket match results depend on the quality of sport motivation (SM) and technical skills (TS) of elite athletes, and both aspects can be improved through coaches' verbal encouragement during circuit training (CVEdCT). However, limited research has examined the combined effect of verbal encouragement within structured circuit training on both psychological and technical outcomes in cricket. Objectives: Our study aims to examine the effect of CVEdCT on improving SM and TS. Methods: This study adopted an experiment with a pretest-posttest control group design. We involved 38 elite cricket athletes in this study. Overall, this study was conducted over a period of 9 weeks. The SM and TS aspects were measured at the pretest and posttest stages. Results: Our research results show that there is a time × group effect on the SM variable in all indicators of intrinsic motivation (p = 0.007), integrated regulation (p = 0.0012), external regulation (p < 0.001), amotivation (p = 0.010), and TS variables with indicators of batting accuracy (p < 0.001), bowling speed (p = 0.006), bowling accuracy (p < 0.001), and fielding efficiency (p = 0.024). Meanwhile, we observed a time effect on the indicators of intrinsic motivation (p = 0.002), integrated regulation (p = 0.031), external regulation (p = 0.013), and amotivation (p = 0.048). Additionally, the TS variable showed significant effects for the indicators of batting accuracy (p = 0.007), bowling speed (p = 0.003), bowling accuracy (p = 0.011), and fielding efficiency (p = 0.006). Based on the Poshoc Bonferroni analysis, there was a significant effect of both groups on SM and TS, but the increase was greater in CVEdCT than CTG. Conclusion: Thus, this study concludes that CVEdCT can improve SM and TS among elite cricket athletes better than CTG.
