| Abstract: | The fear of re-injury can highly influence the athletes' performance and lead to quitting the sport. This project examines the effectiveness of a mountain bike simulator in reducing the fear of reinjury among mountain bike riders, specifically focusing on the fear while cornering. This study aims to develop a mountain bike simulator that combines interactive technology with scene exposure and education to help injured mountain bikers improve their skills and reduce the fear of re-injury. The study employed user testing and gathered feedback from injured mountain bike riders to assess the mountain bike simulator's training value and fear reduction effectiveness. Key findings reveal that participants valued the simulator's training capabilities, especially for cornering skills and speed control. While immediate fear reduction was not evident, the simulator showed promise in enhancing training motivation. This project contributes to the growing understanding of fear reduction in mountain biking and paves the way for further advancements in the field. Keywords: Interactive technology, mountain bike simulator, fear reduction, cornering skills, training motivation, user testing. |
