The Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports is seeking an AI-powered mobile platform to democratize sports talent assessment in India, particularly for athletes in rural areas. The platform will allow users to record their performance in standardized fitness tests, analyze the videos using AI/ML for accuracy, and submit verified data to the Sports Authority of India. Key features include cheat detection, offline analysis, performance benchmarking, and a gamified interface to enhance user engagement and accessibility.

Problem Statement : Al-Powered Mobile Platform for Democratizing Sports Talent


Assessment

No : SIH25073

Background:
Identifying and assessing athletic talent in a country as vast and diverse as India is a
significant challenge. Aspiring athletes, particularly from rural and remote areas, often
lack access to standardized assessment facilities or opportunities to showcase their
talent. The absence of reliable and scalable talent assessment models hinders the
discovery of potential athletes who could benefit from Government support. A set of
standard fitness assessment tests - including height, weight, vertical jump, shuttle run,
sit-ups, and endurance runs (Annexure A) - provides a scientific method to evaluate
talent. However, the reach and implementation of such tests remain limited due to
infrastructure constraints.

Problem Description
The Sports Authority of India (SAI) requires an innovative, mobile-based solution to
democratize sports talent assessment. The proposed platform should:

1. Enable athletes to download an app and record videos of their performance in the
prescribed fitness assessment tests.
2. Use AI/ML-based on-device verification to analyze the recorded videos for accuracy
and authenticity (e.g., detecting jump height, counting sit-ups, or measuring
time/distance in runs).
3. Securely submit verified data to SAI servers for further evaluation and athlete
profiling.
4. Be low-cost and lightweight, ensuring accessibility even on entry-level smartphones
and low-bandwidth networks.

Innovative Features
1. AI-based Cheat Detection: Identify anomalies or manipulations (e.g., tampered
videos or incorrect movements) to ensure fair assessments.
2. Offline Video Analysis: Perform preliminary performance analysis directly on the
device without requiring continuous internet connectivity.
3. Performance Benchmarking: Compare athlete performance against age/gender-
based benchmarks, providing instant feedback.
4. Gamified User Interface: Use progress badges, leaderboards, and interactive visuals
to engage athletes and encourage participation
5. Auto-Test Segmentation: Automatically detect and segment performance clips (e.g.,
counting reps in sit-ups or analyzing vertical jumps) to reduce manual effort.
Expected Deliverables

1. A mobile application (Android/iOS) that allows video recording and assessment of


athlete’s performance across the test batteries.
2. AI/ML modules for on-device video analysis, verification of test results, and cheat
detection.
3. A secure backend system to transmit data to the Sports Authority of India for further
processing.
4. A dashboard for officials to view and evaluate verified performance data.

Expected Impact

1. Democratization of sports talent assessment, reaching even remote areas.


2. Low-cost, scalable solution enabling mass participation in talent identification
initiatives.
3. Improved efficiency and transparency in evaluating and discovering potential
athletes.
