  • Abstract:
  • As technology increasingly permeates all sectors, the realm of sports is poised for profound transformation, particularly through the application of virtual reality (VR) and artificial intelligence (AI). This study systematically assesses the efficacy of a combined VR and AI training regimen on the mental conditioning of college-level basketball athletes. Utilizing a controlled experimental design, researchers measured variables such as mental toughness, focus, and anxiety on both pre- and post-assessments. The findings reveal that participants using the VR-AI system experienced substantial enhancements in their mental conditioning metrics, distinguishing them from a control group. These results underscore the notion that as "technology develops, so does our capacity for personal development,” suggesting a promising avenue for athletes seeking to bolster their mental resilience and concentration. Thus, practitioners and coaches should consider integrating VR and AI into training protocols to optimize the psychological preparedness of their athletes. This study explores the integration of Virtual Reality (VR) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies to enhance the mental conditioning of college-level basketball players. Mental conditioning is critical for athletes to perform under pressure, make rapid decisions, and maintain focus during games. Traditional methods often fall short of replicating game-like conditions and stressors. VR enables players to simulate high-pressure game scenarios in a controlled and immersive environment, while AI-powered systems analyze player responses, providing personalized feedback and tracking cognitive and emotional performance over time. The combination of these technologies offers a revolutionary approach to mental training, addressing key aspects such as decision-making, focus, and stress resilience. This research aims to pave the way for advanced training methods that blend technology with psychology, optimizing the mental and emotional preparation of college basketball athletes.
