Abstract

The integration of wearable sensor technology with artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming the landscape of physical education, creating a new paradigm of personalized, data-driven fitness and performance monitoring. Wearable sensors enable continuous, real-time tracking of physiological and biomechanical parameters, including heart rate, movement patterns and energy expenditure, while AI algorithms analyze this data to provide actionable insights for optimizing training, preventing injuries, and enhancing overall physical performance. This paper explores the current advancements in wearable sensor technologies and AI applications in physical education, highlighting their potential to revolutionize traditional teaching methods, promote individualized learning, and foster proactive health management. Furthermore, we discuss emerging trends, including predictive analytics, adaptive training programs, and integration with virtual and augmented reality environments, emphasizing their implications for future research and innovation in smart physical education. By combining technology and pedagogy, this approach promises to create intelligent, responsive, and evidence-based physical education programs that cater to diverse populations and evolving societal needs.
