Application of AI in table tennis technique optimization based on biomechanics
Abstract
The application of AI in table tennis technology is an innovative way for table tennis players to train in daily life, aiming to improve the players’ technical level and competition results. Athletes only need to upload their training videos, and the AI system can conduct in-depth analysis of the videos, control strength, and evaluate various technical performances.AI technology can accurately identify and analyze key mechanical control actions such as the athlete’s serve power control, receiving and kicking skills, and movement strategies from a biomechanical perspective. Through precise data analysis, AI technical analysis will generate detailed reports to help athletes understand their strengths and areas for improvement, and provide specific optimization suggestions so that players can continue to improve their skills, especially in power control and center of gravity adjustment. In addition, AI applied to table tennis technology will also provide more targeted training plans based on the athlete’s personal strength and training goals. This targeted strength and ball skills training can help athletes focus on improving their special skills and achieve their goals more effectively. In the journey of AI table tennis technology, we will continue to challenge ourselves and achieve higher achievements.
