Abstract
The purpose of this
study was to explore the assessment of virtual reality (VR) through a review of
scientific research and articles from the international and Greek domains,
focusing on its potential to enhance individual technical skills and the
movement of athletes, both with and without a ball. Scientific research was
conducted using databases such as Web of Science, Google Scholar, ResearchGate
and PubMed, with keywords including "basketball," "virtual reality,"
"individual technique," "basketball tactics,"
"offensive movements," and "defensive movements," along
with their combinations. The literature review identified 26 relevant studies
on the subject, excluding 11 due to their age and 10 for their lack of
relevance. The remaining 13 studies, published in reputable journals, and 2
presented at international scientific conferences, examined the improvement of
individual technique and athletes' movement with or without a ball. The
analysis and categorization of these studies revealed that VR can be a
significant complementary tool in the hands of coaches to enhance athletes'
skills and movements on the court, with or without a ball.
