"Intelligent Training" Enters the National Team
Starting from December 19th, the Tennis Sports Management Center of the General Administration of Sport of China organized the national team to conduct winter training at the Beihai Sports Training Center in Beihai City, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region. As the intelligent training partner of the national tennis team, Rigour Technology deployed professional technical personnel to ensure the scientific guarantee throughout the winter training.
In recent years, "artificial intelligence" has become a mainstream topic of discussion, accelerating the transformation of the way people connect with each other and things, from smartphones and home appliances to education, healthcare, home furnishings, and retail.
With the continuous upgrading of the sports industry, the era of artificial intelligence has arrived. With the rapid improvement of global sports performance, the gap between outstanding athletes is becoming smaller. Details determine success or failure, and in training, controlling minute details has become a crucial factor in widening the gap between athletes. As we strive to build a sports powerhouse, it is essential to adhere to the concept of innovative development. Tennis, as a rapidly developing sport, embraces artificial intelligence and persists in reform and innovation to achieve the goal of improving athletes' overall performance. Exploring new models of sports technology, and collaborating to cultivate new types of competitive talents, are critical on the path of reform in competitive sports.
As the intelligent training partner of the national tennis team, Rigour Technology has integrated the tennis smart training system into their daily training, which plays a significant role in promoting the preparation of the national tennis team and has positive implications with the assistance of artificial intelligence.
During this winter training, coaches and players truly felt that they had a clear understanding of their performance. Data such as ball speed, net clearance, and landing point for each shot were visualized and summarized in a highly data-driven manner. At the same time, the strengths and weaknesses exhibited by the trainees were fully reflected in the system, which provided real-time feedback to the coaches. For the trainees, this means that the summary of each training session and the goals for the next training session will be much clearer.
Regarding the Rigour Tennis Smart Training System:
1.It utilizes instant feedback technology, projecting real-time technical data of each shot during training onto the screen and providing simultaneous voice announcements. Coaches can select the data they want to project and announce.
2.The training library of subjects adopts technology to track in real time: ball speed, rotation speed, net height, landing point, athlete's hit;
3.Combined with the coach's customized subject library, coaches can create customized training materials by selecting the most suitable subject for each player, catering to individual needs.
4.The system presents the most suitable "landing point grid" based on different training types, such as serving training, baseline depth training, volley training, and rally training. Coaches can assign different scores to each landing point grid, giving higher scores to desired landing points and lower scores to undesired landing points.
The system can strengthen athletes' weaknesses and create individualized training programs for each team member, integrating scientific and intelligent training into their daily routines.
Turning athletes into "well-rounded warriors"
Data is crucial for athletes and coaches during training. Just like solving problems and analyzing our strengths and weaknesses during our student years, forming a collection of mistakes to learn from. The same applies to training, where analyzing historical data allows coaches to better develop training plans that bring athletes closer to becoming "well-rounded" in terms of their metrics and abilities.
The Rigour Smart Training System can effectively meet these demands by gathering and summarizing data, enabling better decision-making for both athletes and coaches.
Enabling coaches to be data-supported "tactical planners" and "talent selectors".
The Rigour Smart Training System can assist coaches in talent selection through data analysis. Within a team, each player has a different style and playing technique. To maximize the output of each player's abilities, training plans and development directions must be tailored accordingly. In terms of tactics, the system can enhance the coach's "tactical vision" and provide them with greater strategic capabilities. This greatly empowers coaches in summarizing training and game performance.
"Digital transformation, as one of the driving forces behind the new industrial revolution, is a battleground for the future development of the sports industry." Competitive sports have entered the era of artificial intelligence, and its applications will become increasingly widespread. As a pioneer in sports artificial intelligence, Rigour Technology's smart training systems are widely used in national training centers, making them at the forefront of this sports revolution. By merging technology with sports and fostering innovation, Rigour Technology is reshaping the landscape of competitive sports training, contributing to China's journey to become a sporting powerhouse.
