Exploring the Application of Artificial Intelligence in Sports Training: A Case Study Approach

Abstract

With the rapid development of computer science and information technology, artificial intelligence (AI) has been developed from theory to application. As a key technology in the modern society, AI is increasingly affecting all aspects of people’s daily lives, including sports training. AI can be considered as an assistive technology to provide specific support to athletes’ physical education training through various means such as data analysis and simulation of training scenarios. Although research on AI is still in the preliminary stage, it is significant to explore how AI can be applied in sports training since this emerging technology could facilitate people’s physical training to some extent. This paper first reviews the existing research on AI applications. Then, based on the fundamental concept and related research results of AI, this study explores three specific cases of AI application in sports training and explains the main principles. This research focuses on discussing the strong relationship between AI technology and physical education training and highlights the advantages of AI, including utilization, convenience, and innovation.

Intelligent Physical Training Data Processing Based on Wearable Devices

“…Machine learning is a subfield of artificial intelligence that provides decision analysis for people and contains numerous advanced algorithms. For example, neural network algorithms can be applied to solve the problem of optimizing sports training data processing [9].…”

Study of the influence of psychological mood on the performance and mental health of athletes in VR-aided basketball training

“…The use of VR technologies in learning to play basketball is an effective way to foster physical and psychological qualities of athletes ( Bedir and Erhan, 2021 ; Li, 2021 ). Artificial Intelligence (AI) is seen as an auxiliary technology that can support athletes in the training process ( Wei et al, 2021 ). The use of VR allows to reduce the cognitive anxiety of athletes ( Harrison et al, 2021 ) and helps them learn to control their body, emotions and behavior ( Biele, 2022 ).…”

Aplicação Da Inteligência Artificial Na Educação Física Voltadas À Saúde Ao Treinamento

“…Inteligência Artificial e com a finalidade de aplicação no treinamento esportivo. Com vantagens que incluem praticidade, conveniência e inovação, a utilização da Inteligência Artificial no meio esportivo promete trazer benefícios tanto para os atletas quanto para seus treinadores (Wei et al, 2021).…”
