ABSTRACT
Artificial Intelligence has emerged as a transformative tool in sports science, enabling individualized and adaptive training interventions. Adolescence represents a critical period of growth and development, requiring carefully structured resistance training programs. Traditional approaches often fail to account for individual variability in maturation, leading to suboptimal performance and increased injury risk. AI-driven systems integrate machine learning, wearable technologies, and performance analytics to design personalized training protocols. This review synthesizes current literature on AI applications in resistance training for ado lescent athletes, highlighting benefits, challenges, and future directions. AI-based personalization has the potential to optimize training load, enhance performance, and support long-term athlete development (Claudino et al., 2019; Van Eetvelde et al., 2021).
