Generating context-specific sports training plans by combining generative adversarial networks.

Personalized sports training plans are essential for addressing individual athlete needs, but traditional methods often need to integrate diverse data types, limiting adaptability and effectiveness. Existing machine learning (ML) and rule-based approaches cannot dynamically generate context-specific...

description Personalized sports training plans are essential for addressing individual athlete needs, but traditional methods often need to integrate diverse data types, limiting adaptability and effectiveness. Existing machine learning (ML) and rule-based approaches cannot dynamically generate context-specific training programs, reducing their applicability in real-world scenarios. This study aims to develop a Generative Adversarial Network (GAN)- based framework to create context-specific training plans by integrating numeric attributes (e.g., age, heart rate) and motion features from video data. The research focuses on improving context-specific efficiency and real-time adaptability while addressing the limitations of traditional methods. The proposed GAN framework combines numeric and motion features using a generator-discriminator architecture to produce tailored training plans. The model is evaluated quantitatively through metrics like mean square error (MSE) and generation time and qualitatively through subjective ratings from athletes and coaches using a five-point Likert scale for context-specific, scientificity, applicability, and feasibility. Statistical significance is analyzed using ANOVA testing. The proposed GAN model outperforms traditional ML and rule-based methods, achieving a 22% reduction in MSE and a 45% improvement in generation time. Subjective evaluations reveal significant improvements in context-specific and applicability, with ratings averaging 4.8/5 compared to 3.9/5 for baseline models. The GAN framework effectively integrates multimodal data, demonstrating dynamic adaptability and high efficiency suitable for real-world applications. The proposed GAN-based framework advances the generation of personalized sports training plans by integrating numeric and motion data, achieving superior adaptability and efficiency. These results highlight the model's potential for practical deployment in athletic coaching systems, addressing critical gaps in existing methodologies and offering scalable solutions for individualized training.
