ABSTRACT Purpose Virtual reality (VR) offers immersive environments for studying psychomotor performance, but the reliability of dry‐electrode electroencephalography (EEG) in assessing brain activity during dynamic VR exergames (VRex) remains unclear. The present study investigated feasibility and EEG frequency band, with primary focus on alpha band activity. Methods Ten amateur combat sports male participants (37 ± 11 years) volunteered this study. recording motion test‐retest (24 h) reliability, was investigated. measurements were obtained pre, post, throughout a standardized boxing ball VRex session, comprising three 3‐min rounds interspersed 1‐min rest intervals. data analyzed globally at each electrode site, calculating average power spectral density values. Findings ICCs indicated poor‐to‐excellent (0.208–0.858) across all within 4‐ to 30‐Hz range. Poor‐to‐good (0.393–0.636) found task‐active Electrode sites ranged from poor (electrode P3; 0.262) excellent P4; 0.728), higher compared Conclusion demonstrates feasibility, although variable neuronal detection task, using novel technology.
