| description |
The integration of wearable technology and artificial intelligence (AI) has transformed modern sports science by enhancing athlete monitoring, performance optimization, and injury prevention. Wearable sensors, including fitness trackers, GPS-based devices, and biomechanical motion trackers, provide real-time physiological and biomechanical data, enabling personalized training programs and workload management. AI-driven analytics, utilizing machine learning, deep learning, and computer vision, enhance performance assessment, injury prediction, and rehabilitation strategies by processing vast datasets to detect fatigue patterns, optimize recovery schedules, and refine tactical decision-making.
Despite these advancements, challenges persist regarding data accuracy, privacy, and accessibility. Variability in sensor precision and standardization issues hinder reliable cross-comparisons, necessitating the development of validation protocols. Additionally, AI-driven wearables raise concerns over data security, ethical handling, and equitable access, as high costs limit their use in amateur sports. Future research should focus on refining AI-powered injury prevention models, improving biometric sensing capabilities, and advancing edge AI for real-time data processing. Addressing these challenges will ensure that wearable technology and AI continue to enhance sports performance, injury mitigation, and athlete well-being at all levels of competition.
