Summary
Artificial intelligence (AI) enhances adolescent sports training by accurately recognizing fencing footwork, reducing ineffective exercises and training burden. This AI-driven approach personalizes movement corrections for improved athletic development.
Area of Science:
- Sports Science
- Artificial Intelligence
- Biomechanical Analysis
Background:
- Adolescent athletes face excessive training burdens due to intense sports like fencing.
- Traditional training methods lack personalized feedback and timely movement corrections.
- Ineffective exercises contribute to physical harm and hinder athletic development in young athletes.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop an AI-driven action recognition algorithm for adolescent athletes.
- To reduce ineffective exercises and alleviate the training burden in sports.
- To provide timely movement corrections and personalized training plans.
Main Methods:
- Proposed an action recognition algorithm tailored for adolescent athletes.
- Utilized multimodal input data with shared network structures, attention mechanisms, and adaptive graphs.
- Employed a multibranch feature fusion method for final action classification.
Main Results:
- Achieved 93.3% accuracy, 95.8% precision, and 94.5% F1-Score on the fencing footwork dataset 2.0.
- Effectively recognized actions across varying adolescent heights and speeds.
- Demonstrated superior performance compared to traditional training assessment methods.
Conclusions:
- AI-based solutions significantly improve training efficiency for adolescent athletes.
- The developed algorithm effectively reduces the overall training burden.
- Personalized, AI-driven feedback enhances athletic performance and safety.
