Applying Serious Games to Motor Learning in Sport

Review Of The Literature

In this section existing studies dealing with learning and training of whole body movements will be reviewed. Of course, there is also evidence that video games improve elementary perceptual and motor skills, e.g., spatial perception (Green & Bavelier, 2010) and endoscopic surgery (Lynch et al., 2010). Studies improving physical fitness (e.g., endurance and strength) are also neglected because they are more focused on energy as compared to information processing. For the present paper gross motor skills in sport are most relevant.
