This review examines the existing literature regarding utilization of combat sports in virtual reality (VR) for disease rehabilitation and adaptive physical activity. A total 18 studies were obtained from Web Science Scopus databases. The results suggest that Boxing, most studied sport VR systems, has been primarily used to improve motor function quality life patients with neurological conditions such as cerebral palsy, Parkinson's disease, stroke. Furthermore, have shown increase energy expenditure activity intensity individuals disabilities, proving effective maintaining overall health. Notably, boxing produces higher than other activities (e.g., tennis), heart rate (HR) oxygen consumption (VO2) during sessions consistently exceeding those observed tennis. Overall, research this field remains limited further explorations are warranted.

Abstract Background It appears that active video games (AVGs) and training apps allow for physical activity (PA) in immersive virtual reality (VR) may be useful sports, health-enhancing PA, education (PE). Therefore, research is needed to identify their potential. Objective The study aimed evaluate the intensity attractiveness of exercise during table tennis (TT) VR arcade simulation modes assess potential using such exercises sport, PE. Methods used Racket Fury: Table Tennis VR. Exercise TT was evaluated by heart rate (HR) monitoring rating perceived exertion (RPE 6–20). effectiveness short-term estimated based on user’s performance playing against an opponent with artificial intelligence (AI), satisfaction measured Physical Activity Enjoyment Scale (PACES), usefulness tested app PE assessed a questionnaire participating teachers (30 participants). Results PA expressed as percentage maximum (HR max ) moderate but significantly ( p < 0.001; d=-0.830) higher easier mode (69.50 ± 12.58%HR than (64.10 9.67%HR ). Despite greater fatigue respondents, user mode. Users’ when AI better after 20 min before training. recognize great app. Conclusions application characterized beneficial intensity, its level depending game Facilitating strokes promotes increased enjoyment PA. Short-term improves skills environment. spoke highly recognized technology school
