Construct Validity and Reliability of a Virtual Reality Cricket Batting Simulator.
Article in European journal of sport science, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Virtual reality technologies offer sports performance organisations new possibilities for measuring and enhancing performance. This is particularly the case in cricket where training is significantly constrained by weather and seasons, but game understanding is vital to high-level performance. Before implementation, new simulations need to be tested for construct validity to ensure the virtual environment accurately represents the real-world performance setting, and for reliability to ensure that improvements in performance can be accurately measured over time. Therefore, this study aimed to test the construct validity and reliability of a commercially available virtual reality cricket batting simulator. To test construct validity, we compared performance in the simulator across novice, club level, and elite performance pathway (EPP) cricket players. To test reliability novice and club participants completed the test four times across two separate days. Results supported construct validity through detecting differences in runs scored (p < 0.001) and wickets (p = 0.032) lost between the groups, however EPP and club players lost considerably more wickets than would be expected. Strong correlations and low bias between visits showed within- and between-day agreement and reliability. Results support the suitability of this VR simulator in measuring runs scored in cricket batting but suggests players may take more risks and lose more wickets in a virtual setting.
