BoxingPro: An IoT-LLM Framework for Automated Boxing Coaching via Wearable Sensor Data Fusion

The convergence of Internet of Things (IoT) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) has enabled personalized sports coaching, yet a significant gap remains: translating low-level sensor data into high-level, contextualized feedback. Large Language Models (LLMs) excel at reasoning and instruction but lack a native understanding of physical kinematics. This paper introduces BoxingPro, a novel framework that bridges this semantic gap by fusing wearable sensor data with LLMs for automated boxing coaching. Our core contribution is a dedicated translation methodology that converts multi-modal time-series data (IMU) and visual data (video) into structured linguistic prompts, enabling off-the-shelf LLMs to perform sophisticated biomechanical reasoning without extensive retraining. Our evaluation with professional boxers showed that the generated feedback achieved an average expert rating of over 4.0/5.0 on key criteria like biomechanical correctness and actionability. This work establishes a new paradigm for integrating sensor-based systems with LLMs, with potential applications extending far beyond boxing to any domain requiring physical skill assessment.
