The advent of machine learning techniques has paved the way for comprehensive athlete profiling, which is instrumental in identifying excellence in sports activities. The present investigation endeavours to investigate the correlation between Anthro-fitness variables and skateboarding performance. A total of 45 skateboarders were subjected to a comprehensive evaluation that included various skateboarding maneuvers, along with anthropometric and fitness assessments.

摘要

The advent of machine learning techniques has paved the way for comprehensive athlete profiling, which is instrumental in identifying excellence in sports activities. The present investigation endeavours to investigate the correlation between Anthro-fitness variables and skateboarding performance. A total of 45 skateboarders were subjected to a comprehensive evaluation that included various skateboarding maneuvers, along with anthropometric and fitness assessments. The performances of the skateboarders were categorized, and a Random Forest (RF) classification model was developed to predict the grouping of the skateboarders. The cluster analysis revealed two distinct groups: High Anthro-fit Skateboarders (HAS) and Low Anthro-fit Skateboarders (LAS). The RF model demonstrated a high degree of accuracy, achieving 97% for training and 90% for testing. Further diagnostics of the model revealed that the HAS group exhibited superior performance in all the measured variables, except for abdominal circumference, compared to the LAS group. The integration of machine learning provides coaches and stakeholders with valuable insights, aiding in informed decision-making for athlete development and thereby enhancing competitiveness.
