Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Data Analytics are transforming modern sports. These technologies analyze vast amounts of data to enhance athlete performance, prevent injuries, and refine strategies. AI examines player movements, game statistics, and health metrics to provide insights that were previously unattainable. In performance analysis, AI processes data from sensors and cameras to evaluate athletes' techniques. This helps in identifying strengths and areas needing improvement. For example, in badminton, AI analyses video footage to study player movements and biomechanics. This leads to personalized training recommendations. Similarly, in football, AI models player behaviours during different scenarios, aiding in strategy development. These applications demonstrate AI's role in enhancing individual and team performance. Injury prevention benefits from AI's predictive capabilities. By analysing historical data, AI identifies patterns that may lead to injuries. This allows for proactive measures to protect athletes' health. For instance, AI evaluates equipment and playing surfaces to determine their impact on player safety. Research has shown that certain artificial turfs increase injury risks. AI helps in assessing these factors, leading to improved safety standards. AI also optimizes game strategies through detailed analysis. By examining vast datasets, AI uncovers patterns and trends that inform tactical decisions. In basketball, AI has been used to redefine player positions based on statistical strengths, leading to more effective team compositions. In football, AI analyses player movements to develop strategies that enhance scoring opportunities. These insights enable coaches to make informed decisions that improve team performance. Beyond the field, AI enhances fan engagement by personalizing content. AI analyses fan preferences to deliver tailored experiences, increasing satisfaction and loyalty. In broadcasting, AI assists in selecting highlight reels and generating real-time statistics, enriching the viewing experience. These applications demonstrate AI's impact on the broader sports ecosystem. While AI offers numerous benefits, challenges exist.

 Abstract

The use of geoinformatics in sports has the potential to improve athletic performance and injury prevention. However, a systematic approach to applying geoinformatics in sports is lacking. This paper presents a novel systematic framework for optimizing athletic performance and injury prevention using geoinformatics. The framework integrates geospatial data, GPS tracking, and spatial analysis to provide insights into athlete movement patterns, fatigue levels, and injury risk.The proposed framework comprises four distinct stages: data collection, data integration, spatial analysis, and insight generation. The data collection stage involves the utilization of GPS tracking devices, accelerometers, and other sensors to gather data on athlete movement patterns, fatigue levels, and injury risk. The data integration stage involves the fusion of the collected data into a spatial database. The spatial analysis stage involves the application of advanced spatial analysis techniques to identify patterns and trends in the data. The insight generation stage involves the translation of the results into actionable insights for coaches, trainers, and athletes. The proposed framework has the potential to be applied across various sports and levels of competition, and its findings can inform the development of evidence-based strategies for improving athletic performance and reducing injury risk.

 Abstract

Fatigue monitoring is crucial in soccer to optimize performance, reduce injury risk, and enhance recovery strategies. This systematic review explores multimodal approaches to fatigue assessment, integrating physiological, biomechanical, and subjective measures to identify thresholds that indicate performance decline. A comprehensive search of relevant databases was conducted to evaluate studies utilizing diverse monitoring tools such as heart rate variability, neuromuscular markers, biochemical indicators, and player-reported metrics. Findings suggest that multimodal fatigue assessment provides a more holistic understanding of player readiness and load management compared to single-method approaches. However, variability in measurement protocols and threshold determination presents challenges in standardization and practical application. Future research should focus on refining multimodal integration techniques and establishing sport-specific fatigue thresholds to enhance decision-making in soccer training and competition.

The purpose of this study was to look at how volleyball players' vertical explosive power and speed were affected by plyometric and specialized skill training. Twenty-four female volleyball players, ages 18 to 23, from Thoothukudi City were chosen at random to serve as the subjects. Two groups of participants were formed: Group II was the control group (CG), and Group I received plyometric training in addition to specific skill training (PMTASST). For eight weeks, the experimental group participated in evening sessions of a structured training program five days a week (Monday through Friday). Vertical explosive power and speed were the dependent variables in this study, and plyometric training combined with specific skill training (PMTASST) was the independent variable. These were evaluated using established test procedures: the 50-meter run (in seconds) was used to gauge speed, and the vertical leap test (in cm) was used to quantify vertical explosive force.A randomized design was used for both the pre-test and post-test. Each participant's data was gathered both before and after the training session, and paired sample t-tests and analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) were used for analysis. The outcomes showed that the volleyball players' vertical explosive power and speed had significantly increased, highlighting the value of the combined training method.
