Application of Artificial Intelligence and Virtual Reality Technology in the Rehabilitation Training of Track and Field Athletes

Abstract

The rapid improvement of the economic level has led to the prosperity of sports, and the rehabilitation training of athletes has also developed rapidly and has attracted widespread attention from all over the world. How to make track and field athletes quickly relieve the negative impact of sports injuries on the body during rehabilitation training is the most concerned issue in the field of sports medicine today. The traditional rehabilitation training cycle is long, and the rehabilitation effect is very small, which cannot fundamentally eliminate the injury and restore the athletes’ various physical functions and sports qualities to the original level. This article combines the latest artificial intelligence and virtual reality technology to analyze the causes and control strategies of athletes’ injuries and to understand the reasons for the injuries of track and field athletes in daily training and the various factors that affect their rehabilitation. And it was used in rehabilitation training practice and analyzed from four aspects: body shape, physical function, sports quality, and rehabilitation effect. The experimental results show that the rehabilitation training using artificial intelligence and virtual reality technology can make the athletes’ physical function recover more than 96%, and the overall average rehabilitation effect can reach 93.79 points, which is feasible to a certain extent. The application of artificial intelligence and virtual reality technology to the current stage of rehabilitation training can effectively improve the rehabilitation effect of track and field athletes.

“…On the other hand, the use of recent technologies, such as biofeedback and virtual reality, has shown potential in improving rehabilitation outcomes through increased motivation and better monitoring of player progress. The study (Song & Tuo, 2022) highlights how these technologies can be used to individually tailor rehabilitation programmes, speed up recovery, and potentially reduce the risk of reinjury.…”

Progress of protective gear in preventing sports injuries

“…In another example, a company has created adjustable helmet inserts using shock-absorbing materials, which can be added to existing helmets to enhance their level of protection. In sum, these improvements in additive technologies offer an economical means of improving the performance of existing protective gear without sacrificing athlete comfort(Singh & Cronin, 2017).…”
