A119: AI-Enabled Physical Education

With the rapid development of artificial intelligence (AI) technology, its application in the field of education has gradually attracted attention. Traditional physical education has long faced challenges such as insufficient personalized guidance, strong subjectivity in action assessment, and delayed feedback, which make it difficult to meet the diverse needs of students. Currently, primary and secondary schools as well as colleges and universities are actively exploring the integration model of AI and physical education, aiming to improve teaching efficiency, optimize training quality, and respond to the country's high attention to students' physical health through technological means. Therefore, the introduction of AI technology into physical education is expected to enhance teaching effectiveness, optimize sports training, and stimulate students' interest in sports activities through intelligent means. This study adopted a qualitative research method, using in-depth interviews combined with case analysis and educational practice to explore the current application status and potential of AI in physical education. Included physical education teachers, students, and educational technology experts. The interview content focused on the application methods of AI technology in physical education courses, students' experiences, teachers' feedback, and the challenges faced. Combined with actual case analysis, the application effect of AI technology in sports project training was evaluated. The study found that the application of AI technology in physical education mainly focused on action analysis and feedback, the development of personalized training plans, and the monitoring of sports performance. Teachers and students generally believed that AI technology could provide more accurate action guidance and personalized training suggestions, significantly improving teaching effectiveness and students' learning interest. However, some teachers also pointed out that the introduction of technology required a certain adaptation period and put higher demands on teachers' technical operation capabilities. In addition, students had a high acceptance of AI, but there were concerns about privacy protection and data security. The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and physical education brings innovative changes to traditional teaching models, achieving personalized teaching, enhancing students' sports performance and interest, and solving the problem of the difficulty in balancing standardization and personalization in traditional teaching. Although there are challenges in technical adaptation and privacy protection, the application prospects of AI in physical education are broad. Future research should optimize the way technology is integrated with teaching and promote the sustainable development of AI in the field of physical education.
