Review of research on the use of VR technologies in the educational and training process and the prospect of integration into sports practice in Kazakhstan

Abstract

The article discusses the prospects for integrating VR technologies into the educational and training process of athletes in the Republic of Kazakhstan in order to improve sports skills. The introduction of virtual reality (VR) into sports training opens up unique opportunities for creating innovative approaches to training, increasing the effectiveness of the educational and training process, and improving the cognitive and motor skills of athletes. The authors analyzed the current state of sports training in Kazakhstan and considered the potential benefits of VR technologies, including the ability to simulate real competitive conditions, individualize the training process, and accelerate rehabilitation after injuries. Particular attention is paid to the role of VR in the development of perceptual-cognitive skills of athletes, their ability to strategically analyze and quickly respond to changing game situations. The article also provides experience in introducing VR technologies into sports practice abroad.

Along with the opportunities, the integration of VR technologies into sports training faces a number of challenges, including the need for significant investment, training of qualified specialists, and modernization of sports infrastructure. The article emphasizes that the integration of VR technologies into sports training in Kazakhstan is a promising direction that can significantly increase the competitiveness of Kazakhstani athletes in the international arena. For the successful implementation of VR, a comprehensive approach is needed, including the development of a technological base, support from public and private structures, as well as additional research to adapt VR technologies to the specifics of Kazakhstani sports.
