AI-Personalized Digital Exercise for University Students
Sponsor: Transilvania University of Brasov
Summary
This study evaluated whether an AI-personalized digital exercise programme could improve exercise adherence, physical activity, wellbeing, and physical performance among university students compared with a standardized digital exercise programme. University students were randomly assigned to one of two digital exercise programmes for 8 weeks. The AI-personalized programme adjusted exercise recommendations using participant characteristics, previous exercise adherence, readiness, pain, safety information, and physical performance measures. The comparator provided a standardized digital exercise programme without adaptive weekly personalization. The primary outcome was mean weekly exercise adherence. Secondary outcomes included physical activity, wellbeing, countermovement jump performance, lower-limb reaction time, engagement, usability, and safety.

Interventions
AI-Personalized Digital Exercise Programme
An 8-week digital exercise intervention using MoveAI-Student version 2.1.0 and the v1.3-adaptive system. Initial exercise prescriptions ranged from three to five sessions per week, 30 to 45 minutes per session, at moderate-to-vigorous intensity. Recommendations were updated weekly using adherence and safety information. Prescriptions could modify session frequency, duration, intensity, and emphasis on lower-limb power or reactive drills. Predefined safety rules limited weekly progression and allowed reduced exercise load when pain or an adverse-event flag was present.
Standardized Digital Exercise Programme
An 8-week standardized digital exercise intervention delivered through the same study application. Participants were prescribed three exercise sessions per week, with each session lasting 35 minutes. The programme did not use the adaptive weekly prescription procedure applied in the AI-personalized group.
