Injury Prediction in Sports using Artificial Intelligence Applications: A Brief Review
Abstract
Avoiding injuries in sports has always depended on historical records and human experience. This is despite using injuries being a major and unsolvable issue. The development of more precise preventative procedures using the now available approaches has been excruciatingly sluggish. The development of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) as potentially valuable procedures to improve damage prevention and recovery procedures has been made possible by technological advances that have made these areas more accessible. This article presents a detailed summary of ML approaches as they have been used to predict and anticipate sports injuries to this point in time. The research conducted over the last five years has been collated, and its results have been untaken. Assuming the present absence of accessible sources, standardized statistics, and a dependence on obsolete deterioration prototypes, it is impossible to draw any definitive conclusions regarding the real-world effectiveness of machine learning in terms of its application to the prediction of sports injuries. However, it has been hypothesized that resolving these two problems would make it possible to deploy innovative, strong machine-learning architectures, which will hasten the process of increasing the state of this area while also offering proven clinical tools.
