Artificial intelligence advances athletic performance in France

Artificial intelligence is increasingly being utilized to enhance athletic performance across various disciplines, including running, rugby, and football. In running, applications such as Kotcha, Ochy, and RunMotion Coach provide personalized training sessions tailored to individual profiles to improve performance and prevent injuries.

In team sports, AI tools are being used for advanced tactical analysis. The French Top 14 rugby club Section paloise Béarn Pyrénées utilizes Deeptimize’s AI to study opponent tactics, specifically regarding line-outs, to prepare for various strategic scenarios. Additionally, the French startup SkillCorner tracks physical data and player movements by analyzing video footage from football, basketball, and American football matches, providing critical statistics for coaches and recruitment departments.
