In order to help the public understand the basic sports science concepts and principles applied in the precision weightlifting project, as well as to familiarize them with the latest sports technology and its achievements, this initiative aims to enhance the overall scientific literacy of society and increase support for scientific assistance in competitive sports. The research team was invited to participate in the "Kids’ Science - Little Scientists Come Knocking" event, organized by the National Science and Technology Council, on September 21 and 22, 2024, at the 1st and 2nd floors of the Technology Building. The event was a two-day "I Am an AI Strongman" experience activity aimed at school-aged children. The event featured experiences such as "World Record Weightlifting," where participants could try lifting world-record-level weights, "Weightlifting with Hands and Feet," which involved teaching proper lifting techniques, and "AI Coach Assistance," where participants experienced automatic body skeleton recognition evaluations. The main goal of this activity was to help the public understand the tremendous effort behind Taiwan's Olympic gold medalist Guo Xingchun's world record in weightlifting. Through guidance from professional coaches, participants could learn correct lifting techniques that could later be applied in daily life to improve exercise efficiency and reduce the risk of injury. Additionally, participants were able to experience the latest sports science and technology, such as AI-powered automatic image recognition, and learn how this technology can help athletes maximize the benefits of their training and achieve better results in international competitions.
