Use of Virtual Reality Technology for Training Standing Shooting, Postural Balance, and Rifle Stability in Biathlon: A Pilot Study
Psychology. Journal of the Higher School of Economics. 2025. Vol. 22. No. 3. P. 434–448.
Success in biathlon depends on physical fitness, psychophysiological parameters, and biomechanics. Key aspects include the speed and accuracy of shooting, which affect body oscillations and the stability of the "body-rifle" system. The level of stress, environmental conditions, and ski preparation are also important. This study is aimed to provide a thorough theoretical analysis of the factors affecting the standing shooting performance in biathlon, and to conduct a pilot study using VR to validate it as a training tool based on the observed parameters. This study utilized the Biathlon-2024 Virtual Environment, which simulated skiing and standing shooting in classical biathlon. This Virtual Environment is developed on Unity 3D platform and includes two stages: 1) VR skiing, 2) shooting. Subjects performed shooting at virtual targets, whereby the VR visualization fully simulated a biathlon shooting range. The results confirmed that stability of bodyrifle system is crucial for successful shooting in biathlon. It was observed that elite athletes demonstrate a better postural balance and a lower sway compared to beginners. The data analysis obtained with Antilatency system trackers showed a distinct correlation between the limb and rifle positions, which highlights the importance of a fine postural control and reaction time when shooting. The study emphasizes that success in biathlon depends not only on physical fitness and shooting techniques, but also on environment, psychophysiology, and individual attributes such as tremor. This therefore makes an integrated approach to athlete training essential for high performance.

The integration of data-driven and knowledge-driven approaches in generative geospatial modelling (GGM) is often hindered by their mathematical incompatibilities. Here, we propose a geometric algebra (GA)-based framework that employs a unified multi-vector representation to fuse heterogeneous data and diverse knowledge. The framework facilitates structured reasoning and hypothesis generation through a task-adaptable, five-stage cycle: representation, reasoning, ...

EEG recordings are often affected by the loss or corruption of individual channels due to electrode detachment, poor scalp contact, or external interference. Such channels must be accurately reconstructed before further analysis. In this study, we investigate Next-Generation Reservoir Computing (NG-RC) as a data-driven approach for reconstructing corrupted EEG channels and compare its performance with ...

Musical training has a significant impact on brain organization, leading to functional and structural
adaptations that enhance auditory, visual, motor, and cognitive processes. This study investigates how
extensive musical training shapes functional brain connectivity by comparing professional musicians and
non-musicians. Using EEG phase-locking value (PLV) analysis, we examined neural synchronization across
alpha, beta, and gamma frequency ranges during music ...
