| Annotation: | this article evaluates the effectiveness of using ChatGPT as a “digital coach” in powerlifting training and substantiates the pedagogical feasibility of personalized plans and reports generated based on athlete data. The theoretical significance of the study lies in refining approaches to digital support for strength training, where the language model is considered not only as a program generator but also as a means of interpretable feedback, integrating microcycle planning, technique analysis, and competition tactics with mandatory coaching verification. The practical significance of the study lies in the development of a diagnostic system for monitoring powerlifters’ athletic performance using five indicators, suitable for student teams and sports clubs. The experimental part was conducted on a sample of 25 student powerlifters who used ChatGPT for six months for individual support: weekly uploading a training log, making 1-2 video recordings of key sets, and recei- ving feedback with a phase analysis of errors, recommendations, and plans. Effectiveness was assessed by comparing the dynamics of indicators with the previous six months for the same athletes and statistically testing the differences. Improvements were obtained across all five indicators: the total triathlon result increased from 2.4% to 4.8%, the variability of the total result across 4-5 competitions decreased, the proportion of erroneous weight entries and technical failures decreased, and the accuracy of the “planned total actual total” forecast increased. The conditions for the effective and safe use of ChatGPT such as standardized video recording, complete training metadata, query context, and weekly coaching verification are formulated, and directions for further research for their factorial validation are outlined. | ||
