AI technology expands into sports coaching and analytics

Artificial intelligence is increasingly being integrated into sports training and competitive analytics. In the tennis sector, the All India Tennis Association (AITA) has launched ‘AI Coach’ in a beta version. This digital tool is designed to provide players with access to specific data, including rankings, ranking points, and head-to-head match-up details, to assist in competitive preparation.

In golf, various AI-driven swing analyzers are being utilized to provide real-time feedback. These applications use smartphone cameras to track body and club movements, offering users 3D modeling, voice feedback, or connections to human coaches to identify and correct swing faults.
