Abstract

Under the background of the rapid, continuous development of global technology, electronic equipment and programming, artificial intelligence is gradually moving from theory to application, and exerting significant influence on various aspects of people's life, which including the field of professional sports training. This paper analyzes whether the volleyball training plans generated by generative artificial intelligence align to the sports training principles, and the attitudes and differences of professional coaches and volleyball athletes towards the plans generated by AI. This paper concludes that coaches and athletes unanimously agree that the training scheme formulated by generative AI conforms to the principles of sports training, and coaches' recognition is higher. Additionally, There are great differences in the attitudes of athletes and coaches. Based on this, this paper puts forward the following suggestions: improving the customization ability of AI, developing adaptive artificial intelligence training system, applying reinforcement learning, and promoting multi-disciplinary and interdisciplinary cooperation.
