Abstract

Background: Pickleball is one of the fastest growing sports, and the use of virtual reality is also fast growing. Because the physiological responses in real life (IRL) vs. virtual reality are unknown, the purpose of this research was to compare heart rate, metabolic and pulmonary measures IRL vs. mixed reality (MR) during pickleball activity. Methods: Eleven adult participants were outfitted with a portable metabolic unit, heart rate monitor, and virtual reality headsets. Participants played simulated pickleball for 5 min IRL and 5 min in MR. Dependent variables included average heart rate (HR [beats per minute (bpm)], ventilation (VE [L/min]), tidal volume (VT [L]), respiratory frequency (Rf [breaths per min]), respiratory exchange ratio (RER), percent of calories from fat (FAT%), percent of calories from carbohydrate (CHO%), energy expenditure (EE [kilocalorie (kcal]), and VO2 (mL/kg/min). Data were analyzed using paired t-tests with significance accepted at p < 0.05. Effect size measurements were determined by interpretation of small (d = 0.2), medium (d = 0.5), and large (d = 0.8). Results: All metabolic and pulmonary variables except for FAT% were higher during IRL when compared with MR with effect sizes ranging from median to large. Conclusions: The results of this study provide evidence that playing pickleball IRL results in greater physiological responses in comparison to MR. Since MR demands less exertion and substrate use than IRL this result can be beneficial for training purposes with the added potential of reduced injury.

现实生活和混合现实匹克球之间代谢和肺变量的比较。
背景:匹克球是发展最快的运动之一,虚拟现实的使用也在快速增长。由于现实生活(IRL)与虚拟现实(MR)中的生理反应是未知的,因此本研究的目的是比较在匹克球活动期间,IRL与混合现实(MR)的心率,代谢和肺部测量。方法:11名成年参与者配备了便携式代谢装置、心率监测器和虚拟现实耳机。参与者分别在IRL和mr中模拟玩了5分钟的桌球,相关变量包括平均心率(HR[每分钟心跳(bpm)]、通气(VE [L/min])、潮气量(VT [L])、呼吸频率(Rf[每分钟呼吸次数])、呼吸交换率(RER)、脂肪卡路里百分比(fat %)、碳水化合物卡路里百分比(CHO%)、能量消耗(EE[千卡(kcal))和VO2 (mL/kg/min)。数据分析采用配对t检验,p < 0.05接受显著性。效应量测量通过解释小(d = 0.2)、中(d = 0.5)和大(d = 0.8)来确定。结果:与MR相比,IRL期间除FAT%外的所有代谢和肺变量都更高,效应值从中位数到大不等。结论:这项研究的结果提供了证据,证明与MR相比,打匹克球IRL会产生更大的生理反应,因为MR比IRL需要更少的运动和底物使用,这一结果对于训练目的是有益的,并且增加了减少损伤的潜力。
