EFFECTS OF VIRTUAL REALITY TRAINING ON ATHLETIC PERFORMANCE IN PROFESSIONAL FOOTBALL PLAYERS (VR - FOOTBALL)

30 aprile 2026 aggiornato da: Halil Ibrahim ÇAKIR, Recep Tayyip Erdogan University

ATHLETIC PERFORMANCE IN VIRTUAL REALITY: THE USE OF VIRTUAL REALITY FOR TRAINING IN PROFESSIONAL FOOTBALL PLAYERS

This study aimed to investigate the effects of virtual reality (VR)-assisted training compared with traditional training and routine practice on physical and neurophysiological performance in young professional football players. Thirty-nine male football players aged 18-19 were randomly assigned to VR training, traditional training, and control groups. The intervention lasted for several weeks and included structured training sessions integrated into regular team practice.

Physical performance was assessed using balance, 30-meter sprint, and muscle strength tests, while neurophysiological outcomes were evaluated using electroencephalography (EEG). Measurements were conducted before and after the intervention period. The VR group performed immersive exercise-based training using VR applications designed to improve coordination, strength, endurance, and cognitive-motor interaction, while the traditional group performed the same exercises without VR support.

The study hypothesized that VR-assisted training would lead to greater improvements in both physical performance and brain activity compared to traditional and control conditions.

Armi e interventi

Gruppo di partecipanti / Arm
Intervento / Trattamento
Sperimentale: Virtual Reality Training Group
Participants in this group received virtual reality (VR)-based training sessions using immersive applications such as Head Football, Rezzil Player, FitXR, and similar platforms. The training was performed after regular team practice and included structured exercise protocols designed to improve balance, strength, endurance, coordination, and cognitive-motor integration. Sessions were conducted using a VR headset in a controlled environment with defined work-rest intervals.
Comportamentale: Virtual Reality Training
Virtual reality (VR)-based training was performed using immersive applications such as Head Football, Rezzil Player, FitXR, and similar platforms. Participants completed structured exercise sessions after regular team practice. The training focused on improving balance, strength, endurance, coordination, and cognitive-motor integration. Sessions were conducted using a VR headset with defined work-rest intervals and consisted of repeated exercise sets designed to simulate sport-specific movements in an immersive environment.
Altri nomi:
  • VR Training; Immersive Virtual Reality Exercise; VR-based Sports Training
Comparatore attivo: Traditional Training Group
Participants in this group performed the same exercise content as the VR group under coach supervision without the use of virtual reality technology. The training focused on improving balance, strength, endurance, and coordination using conventional football training methods. Sessions were conducted after regular team practice with structured exercise sets and rest intervals similar to the VR group.
Comportamentale: Traditional Training
Participants performed the same exercise content as the VR group under coach supervision without the use of virtual reality technology. Training sessions focused on improving balance, strength, endurance, and coordination using conventional training methods. Exercises were structured with similar sets and rest intervals as the VR group and were completed after regular team practice.
Altri nomi:
  • Conventional Training; Standard Training; Coach-Led Training
Nessun intervento: Control Group
Participants in this group continued their regular football training program without receiving any additional experimental training or intervention. No VR-based or structured supplementary training was applied during the study period.

Cosa sta misurando lo studio?

Misure di risultato primarie

Misura del risultato
Misura Descrizione
Lasso di tempo
EEG Spectral Power (Theta, Alpha, Beta Bands - Anterior Region)
Lasso di tempo: Baseline (Week 0) and Post-intervention (Week 8)
EEG was recorded using a 32-channel system (BrainAccess Extended+). Power spectral density was calculated using the Welch method, and absolute power values (µV²) were derived for theta (4-8 Hz), alpha (8-12 Hz), and beta (12-30 Hz) frequency bands. Analyses were performed by averaging electrodes in the anterior region.
Baseline (Week 0) and Post-intervention (Week 8)
EEG Functional Connectivity (Anterior-Central Coherence)
Lasso di tempo: Baseline (Week 0) and Post-intervention (Week 8)
Functional connectivity was assessed using coherence analysis between anterior and central brain regions. Coherence values were calculated for theta (4-8 Hz) and alpha (8-12 Hz) frequency bands using Welch-based methods.
Baseline (Week 0) and Post-intervention (Week 8)
Dynamic Balance (Togu Challenge Disc Test)
Lasso di tempo: Baseline (Week 0) and Post-intervention (Week 8)
Balance performance was assessed using the Togu Challenge Disc. Participants performed double-leg and single-leg balance tasks (dominant and non-dominant), and the best score based on the device's standardized scoring system (1-5 scale) was recorded.
Baseline (Week 0) and Post-intervention (Week 8)
Sprint Speed (30-meter Sprint Test)
Lasso di tempo: Baseline (Week 0) and Post-intervention (Week 8)
Sprint performance was measured using a 30-meter sprint test with a photoelectric timing system. The best time (seconds) from two trials was recorded.
Baseline (Week 0) and Post-intervention (Week 8)
Isometric Knee Extension Strength
Lasso di tempo: Baseline (Week 0) and Post-intervention (Week 8)
Muscle strength was assessed using a handheld dynamometer. Maximum isometric knee extension force was measured for 5 seconds, and the highest value (kg) from repeated trials was recorded for the leg.
Baseline (Week 0) and Post-intervention (Week 8)
