Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In the recent past, there has been rapid growth in new hardware and related technologies for the collection of data during training and competition at all levels of sport. This has enabled coaches and athletes to analyze performance in far greater depth and from different perspectives. This has also led to far greater opportunities to use large data to make decisions about competitive strategies or to predict performance. Artificial intelligence (AI) has been used in sport to make valid predictions of game outcomes. In competitions, decisions can be rapidly made to influence team performance. The prediction of maladaptation to training and injury prevention is also an important consideration in athletic preparation. With far greater amounts of data being collected by athletes at all levels, AI in combination with instruments of data collection can be used to optimize athletic preparation in a more efficient and valid way. This Special Issue will highlight new and emerging approaches to the analysis of large data for the purpose of reducing injury risk and maladaptation to training and to optimize athletic training and performance. Original research, review articles and case studies from the field will be considered
