The effectiveness of using virtual reality glasses (VR) in teaching some basic motor skills to football players

The research aims to identify the effect of using virtual reality glasses VR in teaching some basic motor skills for football players. The researcher used the experimental method with a single-group experimental design, and the study was applied to a sample of (20) players for the age group of 9-10 years at the Border Guards Club. The basic skills under study were identified, namely running with the ball - passing the ball - kicking the ball forward - throw-in. The researcher designed educational units to teach and develop basic skills and train on them using VR BOX glasses for a period of (8) weeks, at a rate of (2) weekly training units, the duration of the training unit is (70) minutes. One of the most important results was the increase in the rates of improvement between the averages of the pre-post measurements in the measurements of basic skills (running with the ball - passing the ball with the sole of the foot - kicking the ball with the front of the foot - throw-in) for the research sample, as the rate of improvement ranged between (96.8%) to (98%) in favor of the post-measurement. The use of the proposed educational units using virtual reality technology also led to an improvement in the effectiveness of skill performance for the research sample, and one of the most important results was Recommendations: Direct coaches, players and teachers to use virtual reality technology to develop and improve the skill performance of basic skills in football.
