New perspectives in the development of an artificial sports trainer
The rapid development of computer science and telecommunications brings new paths and practices to sports theory as well. An artificial sports coach based on computational intelligence algorithms has gained new momentum in recent years. In practice, however, it has been shown that the disadvantage of the aforementioned coach is mainly the low level of automation in the implementation phase of sports training. Therefore, this study proposes the use of a digital twin as a framework to help athletes during the implementation of sports training and help them make the right decisions in the situations they face during the training itself. It acts in the role of an artificial sports coach and is based on a cognitive model of a person. The digital twin concept has been tested in cycling and runs on a mobile device based on the Raspberry Pi system, which the cyclist attaches to the bike during training. The test results show that the mentioned digital twin could also be used successfully in other track disciplines (e.g. running, duathlon, triathlon).

Important innovation addressing the non-invasive decoding of brain-to-muscle signals in humans
Prof. Aleš Holobar, the head of Institute of Computer Science at UM FERI, presented important innovation at START:IP Matchmaking event, addressing the non-invasive decoding of brain-to-muscle signals in humans. START:IP. Matchmaking event is organized by INiTS Universitäres Gründerservice Wien GmbH Incubator that supports academic institutions in technology exploitation and helps companies to connect with academic institutions. Prof. Holobar presented computer algorithm that highly accurately and in completely non-invasive way estimates the neural codes with which the motor system controls the skeletal muscles in humans.
