| Abstract |
| Introduction: The growing integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in healthcare is creating innovative pathways for tailored health solutions. AI is transforming the field of sports, enabling mass personalization and improving the outcomes of personalized protocols. While AI can generate training programs, the validation of the effectiveness of AI-generated exercise programs remains unexplored. Therefore, this study aims to validate AI-prescribed exercise programs for weight loss. Methods: This study involved developing an AI-generated exercise program, utilizing the Delphi method. The Delphi process consists of administering a questionnaire within a specific domain, where a panel of experts assesses the program’s suitability. Three methods were used to determine validity: Content Validity Ratio (CVR), Content Validity Index (CVI), and Impact Score (IS). The Fleiss Kappa coefficient (g) was calculated to assess the degree of agreement (reliability) between the experts’ responses. Data analysis was performed using SPSS version 27 and Microsoft Excel version 2024. Results: The IS indicates that all exercises possess the required level of validity for weight loss. While the majority of exercises demonstrated acceptable content validity, the negative kappa value suggests poor agreement among the experts. Conclusion: Our findings show that although ChatGPT-4o can create largely appropriate content, it still falls short of fully aligning with expert consensus. Therefore, AI may support exercise programs only as an adjunct under professional supervision, rather than as an independent tool. |
