Realidade Aumentada: conhecimento sobre seus benefícios com alunos de Crossfit

Abstract

INTRODUCTION: Crossfit is an intense training with a high risk of injuries. Augmented reality (AR) can provide real-time visual feedback, helping with the correct execution of movements. OBJECTIVE: To describe the knowledge of participants in a Crossfit institution about the use of AR during physical exercises. METHODS: Qualitative and exploratory study, approved by the Ethics Committee (nº 7.415.886), with students from a Crossfit institution in Goiânia. A questionnaire with objective and essay questions was applied (Appendages I and II). Initially, 200 feedbacks were obtained. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION: Through the 134 viable responses after the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 48 participants claimed to know, but only 23 had already used it. The experiences were for use in physical exercises, virtual glasses and games. Lack of information was the main obstacle to the use of technology. FINAL CONSIDERATIONS: It is necessary to expand access to information and invest in AR to improve the safety and quality of physical training.
