Anticipated Advancements in AI May Enhance Online Sports Results Predictions
The Sports Authority of Vietnam (SAV) has embarked on an ambitious journey to integrate artificial intelligence (AI) into its sports training, marking a significant step towards enhancing the country's performance in various disciplines. As part of a broader strategic commitment, the SAV has signed a cooperation agreement with Dreamax Company to apply AI in sports activities from 2025-2030.
The pilot program, which focuses on athletics, is set to run for approximately 2-3 months. The aim is to analyze athlete data, optimize training programs, improve performance, and reduce the risk of injuries during training. After the pilot, the plan is to expand AI integration to other sports, with shooting, archery, boxing, and taekwondo potentially being among them.
The use of AI is part of a strategic commitment by Vietnam to achieve higher goals at the Asian Games and the Olympics. Four national teams, including shooting, archery, boxing, and taekwondo, are the first to benefit from this AI application. The AI technology will collect indicators such as environment and space from athlete monitoring devices, and it is expected to improve competition results, evaluate athletes' expertise, and even predict the risk of injury.
SAV Director Nguyen Danh Hoang Viet stated that the goal is to improve the expertise and results of national sport teams in the international arena. Dreamax representative noted that data collection serves three goals: state management, optimizing training, and evaluating athletes' expertise.
The new technology will be based on data to assess performance and the athletes' adaptations to training plans. The data collection is carried out in various forms, including direct devices and integrating training and competition results.
However, the director acknowledged that while technology has been applied in training and competitions, there are still barriers and difficulties, as well as antiquated technology. The national sport managing body will make a report on the programme's effectiveness after one year.
The athletes have received strong support in facilities, regimes, and training conditions to achieve high achievements in regional and continental arenas. The director emphasised that the AI technology is expected to help achieve higher goals in international competitions. The AI technology is also expected to serve the public.
As the program progresses, it is likely that more sports will be included, potentially benefiting shooting, archery, boxing, and taekwondo, among others. This integration of AI in sports training is a significant step towards improving overall sports performance in Vietnam.
