Soccer player activity prediction model using an internet of things-assisted wearable system
BACKGROUND: Soccer is one of the world’s most successful sports with several players. Quality player’s activity management is a tough job for administrators to consider in the Internet of Things (IoT) platform. Candidates need to predict the position, intensity, and path of the shot to look back on their results and determine the stronger against low shot and blocker capacities. OBJECTIVE: In this paper, the IoT-assisted wearable device for activity prediction (IoT-WAP) model has been proposed for predicting the activity of soccer players. METHOD: The accelerometer built wearable devices formulates the impacts of multiple target attempts from the prevailing foot activity model that reflect a soccer player’s characteristics. The deep learning technique is developed to predict players’ various actions for identifying multiple targets from the differentiated input data compared to conventional strategies. The Artificial Neural Network determines a football athlete’s total abilities based on football activities like transfer, kick, run, sprint, and dribbling. RESULTS: The experimental results show that the suggested system has been validated from football datasets and enhances the accuracy ratio of 97.63%, a sensitivity ratio of 96.32%, and a specificity ratio of 93.33% to predict soccer players’ various activities.
