2 Neural networks in fitness: Applications, bottlenecks, and breakthrough directions

2.1 The all-round application and outstanding results of neural networks in the field of fitness

Neural networks can process massive amounts of fitness data, including users' basic physical information (such as height, weight, body fat percentage, etc.), exercise habits (exercise duration, frequency, type preference, etc.), and health status (whether there are chronic diseases, exercise taboos, etc.). Through in-depth analysis of these data, neural networks can accurately identify the unique needs of each user and tailor personalized fitness plans for them. For example, for a young male who hopes to build muscle and is in good physical condition, the neural network may recommend a high-intensity strength training program combined with an appropriate nutritional supplement plan; while for a middle-aged woman who aims to lose fat and has an old joint injury, a low-impact plan focusing on aerobic exercise and diet control will be designed. Moreover, as the user's fitness process progresses, the neural network can continuously optimize the plan according to real-time feedback data to ensure that it always meets the user's physical changes and goal adjustments. Based on the user's initial data and the adopted fitness plan, the neural network can predict the user's fitness effects in the future period, such as weight change trends, the degree of decrease in body fat percentage, and muscle growth. These prediction results are presented to users in intuitive chart or data forms, allowing them to clearly see their effort direction and expected results, thereby enhancing their motivation and confidence in fitness. At the same time, combined with incentive mechanisms, such as setting phased goals and giving corresponding rewards (such as exchanging points for fitness equipment, virtual medals, etc.), can further stimulate users' enthusiasm for adhering to fitness and form a good cycle of fitness habits. The combination of intelligent fitness equipment (such as smart bracelets, sports watches, etc.) and neural network technology provides users with a more intelligent and scientific fitness experience. The equipment collects users' real-time exercise data (such as steps, exercise distance, speed, heart rate, calorie consumption, etc.) and physiological data (such as sleep quality, stress level, etc.). The neural network conducts immediate analysis of these data to determine whether the user's exercise state is reasonable and whether there are exercise risks (such as excessive fatigue, abnormal heart rate, etc.) and provides feedback and suggestions to users in a timely manner. For example, when a user's heart rate is too high and close to a dangerous value during running, the equipment will issue an alarm to remind the user to reduce exercise intensity and avoid potential health risks.[3] When the user's exercise posture is incorrect, the equipment can prompt the user to correct it through vibration or voice to improve exercise effectiveness and reduce the possibility of injury. Neural networks can accurately recommend suitable fitness articles, video tutorials, online courses and other content for users according to their interests, fitness goals, and past browsing and learning history. For example, for users who are interested in yoga fitness, professional yoga teaching videos and related articles on yoga culture knowledge will be recommended; for users who hope to improve sports performance, content on sports science principles and training skill improvement will be recommended. In addition, by analyzing users' learning progress and knowledge mastery level, neural networks can also provide users with personalized learning paths and tutoring suggestions to help users obtain fitness knowledge more efficiently and improve fitness skills.[4]

2.2 Development bottlenecks and breakthrough directions of neural networks in fitness applications

The accuracy of neural networks depends on a large amount of high-quality data. However, there may be errors and incompleteness in the collection process of fitness data. At the same time, users' concerns about personal data privacy may also affect the collection and use of data. How to ensure user privacy and security under the premise of guaranteeing data quality is an urgent problem to be solved. The decision-making process of neural networks is relatively complex, and it is difficult to intuitively understand how it arrives at specific fitness recommendations or prediction results based on input data. This poses certain difficulties for user trust and for professionals to evaluate the rationality of fitness plans. Improving the interpretability of the model is an important direction for future development. When deeply integrating neural networks with other fitness-related technologies (such as the Internet of Things, virtual reality, etc.), there are challenges in many aspects such as technical compatibility and data interaction standards. A large amount of research and development resources need to be invested to achieve seamless connection and collaborative work.[5]
