Enhancing Motor Skills and Coordination With Visual-Haptic Feedback in Ball Sport Training

Traditional ball sport training methods often lack targeted feedback and personalized guidance, limiting beginners’ ability to develop the rapid responses and precise movements essential for such sports. This study investigates the effectiveness of integrating Visual-Haptic Feedback into simulated ball sport training to enhance body awareness and coordination without increasing cognitive load. By delivering tactile feedback to the wrists and ankles, we aim to improve beginners’ motor skills and overall performance. Our research reviews advancements in human-computer interaction focused on enhancing bodily awareness and discusses the application of tactile feedback in sports training. Experimental results demonstrate that Visual-Haptic Feedback significantly enhances beginners’ body awareness, enabling them to perceive and adjust their movements more accurately without imposing a cognitive burden. Furthermore, this approach effectively standardizes and coordinates motor performance, with a particularly notable improvement in lower limb movements. Additionally, Visual-Haptic Feedback reduces the error rate in executing complex tasks and improves the precision of limb movements. This study enriches the understanding of using Visual-Haptic Feedback in sports training and highlights its potential to improve skills and body coordination, offering valuable insights for future applications and developments in this field.
