“…The adaptability of AI technologies across different sporting disciplines, as demonstrated in our study and supported by literature (Bin & Xu, 2021;Shi et al, 2022;Tasiemski et al, 2012), showcases the versatility of AI applications in sports. This versatility allows for customized approaches to training and performance optimization, reflecting the unique needs and requirements of each sport.…”

This article seeks to understand athletes' perceptions and experiences with AI-driven coaching technologies. The objective is to identify the major themes associated with the adoption, perceived benefits, challenges, and impact of these technologies on motivation and performance, alongside suggestions for future enhancements. Eighteen athletes across various sports disciplines participated in semi-structured interviews. The study employed a thematic analysis approach to identify key themes and sub-themes related to athletes' experiences with AI-driven coaching technologies. Ethical approval was obtained from the Institutional Review Board, and informed consent was secured from all participants. Five major themes were identified: Adoption and Adaptation, Perceived Benefits, Challenges and Limitations, Impact on Motivation and Performance, and Suggestions for Improvement. Athletes expressed initial skepticism followed by appreciation for the personalized training and efficiency offered by AI technologies. However, concerns regarding technical issues, lack of personal touch, and data privacy were noted. The impact on motivation and performance was predominantly positive, with athletes acknowledging the role of AI in enhancing training outcomes. Suggestions for improvement emphasized the need for more intuitive user interfaces, enhanced data security, and better integration of human coaching elements. Athletes recognize the transformative potential of AI-driven coaching technologies in enhancing training efficiency, personalization, and injury prevention. Nonetheless, the successful adoption of these technologies hinges on addressing technical challenges, ensuring data privacy, and maintaining the human element in coaching. Future developments in AI-driven coaching technologies should consider athletes' feedback to refine and tailor these tools, ensuring they meet the unique needs of individuals and foster a productive coach-athlete relationship. Suggestions for future research include expanding the participant pool across a wider range of sports and incorporating longitudinal studies to explore the evolution of athlete perspectives over time.

“…An additional element that may prove to be very useful in verifying the amount of self-reported PA would be the use of a pe dometer [21,22], which would allow for a broader comparison of the results with those by other authors. An interesting aspect would be to also compare the everyday PA and life satisfaction of blind and visually impaired individuals who practice intensive sports such as Goalball or tandem cycling [23,24]. conclusions 1.…”

Purpose. Physical activity (PA) is known to have a positive influence on many physical and psychological aspects of human life. Despite the many benefits of an active lifestyle, the majority of adults in Western Europe do not perform regular PA, and this is especially so for adults with a disability, such as the blind and visually impaired. The purpose of this study was to assess the type and intensity of physical activity and subjective quality of life (life satisfaction) of blind and visually impaired individuals living in Poland and to analyze for potential differences in terms of their physical activity levels. Method. The short form International Physical Activity Questionnaire and the Life Satisfaction Questionnaire were administered to a sample of eighty-two individuals (mean age 38 years) with varying degrees of vision loss. Results. The study found that more than 50% of the respondents were classified as being highly active and that the total sample was "rather satisfied" with life "as a whole". The level of PA performed was significantly positively correlated with the level of life satisfaction. Conclusions. PA increases the subjective quality of life in blind and visually impaired individuals.

“…9,10 Athletic identity (i.e., a dispositional perspective to identity) 11 has been considered as the extent to which individuals identify with the role of an athlete. Athletic identity is considered to be both a cognitive structure (schema) and a social role 10 , whereby it consist of a (a) a cognitive structure that affords clarification of information, coping across different situations, and influences behaviour, and (b) individual's perceptions of others and of social roles 12 assigned to the identity. In other words, individuals might make inferences regarding perceptions of their commitment to an activity, their ability to engage in the activity, 13 and a commitment to ideological and occupational options most consistent with their needs, values, skills, and interests.…”

Swimming experiences enabled the participants to enhance personal and social identities, integrate through pro-social mechanisms, and to develop a career path following retirement from competition. Implications for rehabilitation Offering equal sporting opportunities for people with/without physical disability can help facilitate social integration and act as a buffer against stigmatization. Our research suggests that participation in sport had afforded the participants a heightened sense of self-concept, independence, ability and corresponding pride. When working with individuals with physical disabilities, rehabilitation professionals could utilize sport as a means of increasing an individual's feelings of independence, confidence and normalization. As such, part of rehabilitation should be to ensure opportunities for sport participation for people with physical disability are available for people of all ages.
