Summary

FST.ai 2.5 is an explainable, uncertainty-aware AI framework designed for Olympic and Para-Taekwondo, integrating athlete intelligence, competition analytics, and digital twins for comprehensive decision support. It provides tactical diagnostics, performance forecasting, and personalized training recommendations for athletes and federations.

This paper introduces FST.ai 2.5, a comprehensive AI framework specifically developed for Olympic and Para-Taekwondo. It aims to overcome the fragmentation of existing sports analytics solutions by offering a unified digital ecosystem. This system integrates various components, including athlete intelligence, competition analytics, and federation-scale data management. A key feature of FST.ai 2.5 is its focus on explainable and uncertainty-aware AI, providing transparent and secure decision support. It generates athlete and event digital twins, offers explainable performance indicators, and delivers adaptive training recommendations. The framework supports a wide range of stakeholders, from World Taekwondo and national associations to coaches, referees, and athletes. By combining multi-source competition data with athlete performance information, FST.ai 2.5 enables tactical diagnostics, longitudinal athlete monitoring, and personalized development planning. While designed for Taekwondo, its methodology for explainable AI, digital twins, and trustworthy decision support is broadly applicable to other high-performance sports.
