USE OF AI-POWERED VIRTUAL WRESTLING COACHES IN ENHANCING MOTOR LEARNING AND PHYSICAL FITNESS IN WRESTLER

This paper examines the potential of AI-powered virtual wrestling coaches to enhance motor learning and physical fitness among school and college students. A quasi-experimental study is described in which 60 students were assigned to two groups: an AI-augmented virtual coaching group and a traditional instruction group. Pre- and post-tests measured technical skill proficiency, motor-learning transfer, and three components of physical fitness: muscular endurance, agility, and anaerobic power. Results from the illustrative study show greater improvements in skill accuracy and agility in the AI group, with moderate effect sizes. The paper includes literature review, detailed methodology, hypothesis, results (illustrative), conclusions, practical recommendations for educators and coaches, and a bibliography. The empirical results presented here are illustrative: they come from a designed-and-simulated dataset intended to demonstrate how a real study could be reported. Key claims about AI in PE are supported with recent literature.
