“…Examples of this implementation of VR can be seen in many different VR studies. In an American football study training quarterbacks, the researchers created a 4 surface CAVE system consisting of one surface in front, one below, and one on each side of the user in a cube shape [8]. Another example of this, is the study looking at creating a tennis simulation [30].…”

“…A CAVE system was not considered for this study as we intend to focus on effective motion training in commodity VR and CAVE systems are not currently being looked at for the consumer market. Even though we chose to use an HMD for our VR hardware, there has been much research using CAVE systems that relate to our study that we have taken into consideration [8,30,23].…”

“…VR training for professionals, such as with surgical simulators, has been shown to make VR trainees complete a task faster and make fewer errors as compared to trainees that received traditional training [7]. Many more examples from the research community also support the use of training with VR [29,26,8].…”

Fitzpatrick made this research possible through the use of the MMAD Lab and assisted in more ways than can be counted. Robert Feyen volunteered many hours to attend meetings and provided key input towards the design and development of this work. i Dedication I dedicate this thesis to my family for all of the incredible support and love over the years. I also dedicate this thesis to my mentor, Dr. Pete Willemsen, who believed in me, was willing to have long meeting discussing my work, and gave me opportunities I could have only dreamed of before working with him.

“…Many other methods for practicing situation assessment have been proposed, such as a system that displays an actual game scene and situation using a head mounted display or immersive projection display using computer graphics [14][15][16][17]. However, these methods have the problem that there is no interactivity with a real body (such as a ball or an opponent) and there are differences in the perception of the image from the real world.…”

“…Some of these approaches involve the improvement of training methods and schedules [1,2], development of new equipment [3,4], improvement of existing equipment [5], tactical analysis, and strategic planning [6]. More and more efforts are being put in to enhance sports training using technology [11,[13][14][15], particularly in ball game sports. This is because it is difficult to reproduce the same scene and optimize the training level in ball game sports using traditional methods.…”

This study presents a system that consists of three machines to imitate the motion of top volleyball blockers. In a volleyball match, it is essential to improve the hitting percentage of each spiker in order to score by spiking. Iterative spiking training is required for increasing the hitting percentage. Therefore, we develop a block machine system that can be continuously used in an actual practice field for improving attack practice. Each machine is equipped with five degrees of freedom to achieve the required operating speed and mechanical strength. The machine performs high-speed movements on 9,000 mm rails that are arranged parallel to the volleyball net. In addition, an application with a graphical user interface enables a coach to manipulate these machines. It enables the coach to control block motions and change the parameters such as the machines' position and operation timing. We evaluate the feasibility of the proposed block form through practical use of the system in the practice field and confirm that the system has potential for improving attack efficiency.

Motivation is one of the important factors that increase the success of athletes, especially who lift weights. It increases not only the success of the athletes but also influences other notions such as increasing self-confidence, decreasing anxiety, and improving endurance. Although motivation has a key role in the performance of athletes, most of the athletes may be fully motivated only in competition environments. However, being motivated only in competition environments is not enough for athletes since they spend most of their time in training. If they are motivated in training environments as motivated as in competition environments, they can increase their performance, however, being motivated during training sessions is not easy since there are not enough motivational factors, such as spectators, in training environments. In order to solve this problem, this study aims to increase the motivation levels of powerlifters during training sessions by developing a virtual competition environment. In this environment, the athletes experience a virtual competition environment by using HTC Vive. To understand the efficiency of the virtual environment, it was tested with 32 professional athletes. The findings illustrated that using VR technology was beneficial to increase the level of motivation of powerlifters during training sessions.
