Abstract

Over the last decades web and mobile technologies are increasingly being used in sports, especially in soccer, but none of them seems to allow to prevent injuries. However, training systems for young athletes do not have, for the most part, learning abilities in order to adapt, evolve and find new training recommendations. It is in this context which the Smart Coach project is presented in this work, and whose main goal is to introduce our mobile training recommendation system allow to young athletes evolve. The training mobile recommendation system is also designed to identify potential injuries risk for each young athlete.
