AI Transparency & Responsible Use Policy

TheMasterAthlete

Version: 1.0
Effective Date: 10-07-2026
Last Updated: 10-07-26

1. Purpose

Artificial Intelligence (“AI”) is used within TheMasterAthlete to help athletes, coaches, clubs and organisations access personalised insights and recommendations.

This policy explains:

  • how AI is used;

  • what AI can and cannot do;

  • the responsibilities of users;

  • how AI-generated content should be interpreted.

Our aim is to use AI responsibly, transparently and in a way that supports—not replaces—human decision-making.

2. How We Use AI

AI may be used to assist with:

  • personalised training plans;

  • session recommendations;

  • periodisation guidance;

  • race preparation;

  • recovery recommendations;

  • workload analysis;

  • performance predictions;

  • benchmarking;

  • competition planning;

  • coach support tools;

  • educational content;

  • athlete progress summaries;

  • goal tracking;

  • injury risk indicators;

  • technique analysis (where available);

  • future performance modelling.

Additional AI-powered features may be introduced as the Platform evolves.

3. Human Decision-Making

AI is a decision-support tool.

It is not a replacement for:

  • professional coaching;

  • sports science;

  • physiotherapy;

  • medical advice;

  • healthcare professionals;

  • safeguarding decisions;

  • personal judgement.

Final decisions always remain with the user.

4. AI Limitations

AI systems have limitations.

Recommendations may be affected by:

  • incomplete information;

  • inaccurate user data;

  • changing training conditions;

  • illness or injury;

  • environmental factors;

  • competition schedules;

  • equipment;

  • weather;

  • travel;

  • recovery;

  • unforeseen circumstances.

AI-generated recommendations may occasionally be incorrect, incomplete or inappropriate.

Users should always apply their own judgement before acting on any recommendation.

5. Personalisation

AI recommendations are generated using information that may include:

  • age;

  • sex (where provided);

  • athletics discipline;

  • training history;

  • competition history;

  • personal bests;

  • stated goals;

  • training availability;

  • recovery information;

  • previous sessions;

  • coach input;

  • user feedback.

Recommendations are only as accurate as the information available.

Users should keep their profiles up to date.

6. Coach Use of AI

Coaches may use AI to:

  • draft training programmes;

  • review athlete progress;

  • identify trends;

  • prepare competition plans;

  • generate reports;

  • support communication with athletes.

Coaches remain fully responsible for reviewing all AI-generated content before sharing it with athletes.

AI should enhance coaching—not replace professional expertise.

7. Athlete Responsibilities

Athletes should:

  • review recommendations critically;

  • stop training if they experience pain or concerning symptoms;

  • report injuries accurately;

  • update training information regularly;

  • seek medical advice where appropriate;

  • understand that AI cannot predict every circumstance.

Athletes remain responsible for all training and competition decisions.

8. Fairness

We aim to develop AI systems that are fair and beneficial for all users.

We continuously monitor and improve our systems to reduce unintended bias.

However, AI outputs may occasionally reflect limitations within available data or algorithms.

Users are encouraged to report recommendations they believe are inaccurate, inappropriate or unfair.

9. Privacy

AI systems may process personal information in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal data.

Where possible, aggregated or anonymised information may be used to improve our AI models.

Personally identifiable information will not be used for research or publication without an appropriate legal basis or user consent.

10. Continuous Improvement

AI systems improve over time.

Recommendations may change as:

  • new research becomes available;

  • algorithms are updated;

  • additional data is provided;

  • new Platform features are introduced.

Future recommendations may therefore differ from previous recommendations.

11. No Guarantees

TheMasterAthlete does not guarantee:

  • personal best performances;

  • competition success;

  • qualification standards;

  • injury prevention;

  • recovery;

  • coaching effectiveness;

  • training outcomes.

Athletic performance depends upon many factors beyond the scope of AI.

12. User Feedback

We encourage users to provide feedback on AI-generated recommendations.

Feedback may be used to:

  • improve recommendations;

  • identify errors;

  • enhance user experience;

  • improve future AI models;

  • develop new Platform features.

13. Future AI Features

TheMasterAthlete may introduce additional AI capabilities including:

  • conversational coaching assistants;

  • video movement analysis;

  • biomechanical assessments;

  • race strategy tools;

  • voice coaching;

  • competition simulations;

  • training optimisation;

  • injury trend analysis;

  • wearable data interpretation.

Where significant new AI features are introduced, this policy may be updated accordingly.
