A074: Vr / Ar Technology Innovation In Sports Training: From Action Capture To Multimodal Feedback, Chenhan Xu, Zekai Wu
International Journal of Physical Activity and Health
Traditional sports training is constrained by limited environmental controllability, delayed feedback, and insufficient motion quantification. VR/AR technologies offer immersive interactions and multimodal feedback systems, enabling high-fidelity scenarios, real-time motion capture, and precise quantitative analysis for motor skill development. This study systematically examines technological innovations in motion capture and multimodal feedback within VR/AR frameworks and evaluates their efficacy. The research integrate motion capture technologies (e.g., Kinect V2 skeletal tracking with deep learning algorithms) and multimodal feedback systems into a three-stage framework: 1) A hybrid inertial-visual motion capture system achieving joint angle modeling with an error margin < 1.5°; 2) Multimodal feedback design incorporating visual overlays (motion trajectory projection), tactile vibrations (HaptX glove force feedback), and spatial audio cues; 3) Real-time biomechanical analysis modules assessing cognitive-motor coordination via synchronized eye-tracking and electromyography. Experimental trials involved soccer/tennis athletes and rehabilitation patients in comparative training studies. 1) VR-trained soccer athletes exhibited 23% faster tactical decision-making and 18% higher action anticipation accuracy than the control group; 2) Tactile-visual multimodal feedback improved tennis serve standardization by 31%, outperforming single-modality interventions; 3) AR-integrated gait rehabilitation increased patients' POMA balance scores by 42%, with 92% training adherence. However, neck fatigue caused by device weight reduced long-term compliance for 15% of users. VR/AR technologies enable quantifiable, personalized, and context-adaptive sports training through high-precision motion capture and multimodal feedback. Their core value lies in transcending physical space limitations and accelerating neuro-muscular memory formation. Future research should prioritize lightweight device design and 5G-edge computing-enabled distributed training systems. While multimodal synergy is validated, feedback modality prioritization requires task-specific optimization—e.g., spatial auditory cues for team sports versus tactile precision enhancement for fine motor tasks.
