This brief highlights the association of different performance variables that influences archery performance and the employment of different machine learning algorithms in the identification of potential archers. The sport of archery is often associated with a myriad of performance indicators namely bio-physiological, psychological, anthropometric as well as physical fitness. Traditionally, the determination of potential archers is carried out by means of conventional statistical techniques. Nonetheless, such methods often fall short in associating non-linear relationships between the variables. This book explores the notion of machine learning that is capable of mitigating the aforesaid issue. This book is valuable for coaches and managers in identifying potential archers during talent identification programs.​

This book highlights the fundamental association between aquaculture and engineering in classifying fish hunger behaviour by means of machine learning techniques. The findings presented are of interest to researchers, fish farmers, and aquaculture technologist wanting to gain insights into the productivity of fish and fish behaviour.

It is worth noting that the World Health Organisation (WHO) in 2019 estimated that cancer is the primary or secondary leading cause of death in 112 of 183 countries for individuals less than 70 years old, which is alarming.

This book explores the application of machine learning techniques to model the interplay between psycho-physiological, anthropometric, and fitness variables in youth badminton athletes. The data presented in this book were collected across multiple youth badminton development programs, encompassing a broad spectrum of athletes aged 11 to 17. Key parameters include maturity offset, neuromuscular fitness (e.g., jump performance, balance, coordination), psychological indicators (e.g., training and competitive strategies), and internal/external training loads. Through classification models, clustering techniques, and predictive analytics, the book examines how these variables interact to inform talent identification and design individualised training strategies. The findings from this work are envisioned to support evidence-based decision-making for coaches, sport scientists, and talent development experts by offering actionable insights into the profiling, monitoring, and development of youth badminton players. This approach holds promise for enhancing athlete development pipelines, minimising injury risk, and facilitating early identification of future elite badminton players.
