Abstract
Cognitive skills and their assessment gain increasing importance in soccer. In the past, athletes' perceptual-cognitive capabilities were only assessed using 2D media with its limitations. We used a virtual reality 360° video environment, where 15 high-skilled and 15 low-skilled soccer players (age 24 +- 3 years) experienced nine real-life soccer scenes from varying perspectives. The experience was frozen at crucial time points where they had to decide for one of three soccer actions. The recognition-action time and risk-level for decision were determined. Furthermore, six different interaction concepts were evaluated with respect to user experience, presence and immersion to find the most adequate and appealing one for assessment and training in soccer.
Results show that high-skillers had a significantly lower overall recognition-action time. Risk-values for decisions did not differ significantly between skill levels. The most appealing interaction were passing movements.
