Abstract

Virtual Reality (VR) technology has gained significant traction in various fields, including sports. In athletic training, VR is revolutionizing the way athletes improve their skills, enhance performance, and recover from injuries. By providing immersive environments and real-time feedback, VR enables athletes to practice in simulated settings that replicate real-world conditions without the physical limitations. This paper explores the impact of VR on athletic training, focusing on its applications for skill development, injury rehabilitation, mental training, and performance analysis. It also discusses the challenges and potential future developments in the integration of VR into sports training.
