Overview

Robotics and Artificial Intelligence in Sports Medicine and Sports Services delves into the latest advancements in sports science, medicine, and event management. The book emphasizes the optimization of athlete performance, injury prevention, and rehabilitation through emerging technologies. It highlights the use of wearable sensors, IoT devices, AI-powered virtual and augmented reality, and predictive models based on large language models, which are revolutionizing training and recovery strategies. Additionally, rehabilitation robotics and exoskeletons are enhancing recovery and mobility for clinicians and physiotherapists. AI-driven drones improve performance monitoring, crowd safety, and fan engagement, while service robots streamline logistics and event management in smart stadiums. This book is an invaluable resource for engineers, clinicians, physiotherapists, coaches, and policymakers seeking to integrate smart technologies into sports science and medicine.
