How AIMlete keeps training safe

AIMlete is built for young athletes, so the limits below are fixed rules in the software, not suggestions and not decisions made by an AI model.

A check-in before hard training

Before a demanding session AIMlete asks four short questions: energy, sleep, soreness, and whether anything hurts. The answers produce one of three outcomes:

Ready — train as planned

Modify — maximum sprinting, hard plyometrics and intensive repeated sprints are removed and replaced with technique, coordination, mobility and easier aerobic work

Recover — the session becomes movement preparation, coordination and breathing

Some answers stop training entirely

If an athlete reports chest pain, dizziness, unusual breathlessness, a knock to the head, fainting, swelling, a joint giving way, sudden injury, sharp pain, or that they cannot run normally, AIMlete does not build a session at all. It asks the athlete to speak to an adult that day and flags it for their parent or guardian.

AIMlete does not diagnose anything. It removes movements and asks you to involve a person. For pain that does not settle, see a doctor or physiotherapist.

Pain removes movements, not sessions

Reporting pain in a body area excludes the movements that load it — hamstring pain removes maximum sprinting, flying sprints, plyometrics and hard deceleration, for example — while letting the athlete keep training everything else.

Volume is capped by age

Young athletes never inherit adult training volumes. Every session is trimmed to stay inside these ceilings:

Age	High-speed metres	Max-speed reps	Plyo contacts	Longest sprint
0–10	300 m	6	40	30 m
11–12	400 m	8	60	40 m
13–14	500 m	10	80	50 m
15–16	700 m	12	100	60 m
17–18	900 m	14	120	80 m
19+	1200 m	16	140	100 m

Other fixed rules

Maximum-speed work is placed early, while the athlete is fresh, and never after hard conditioning

Two maximum-speed or plyometric sessions cannot be scheduled within 40 hours of each other

Training on several consecutive days, or several hard sessions in a week, automatically eases the next session

If sprint times drop more than 3% below the best rep of the block, speed work ends for the day

Training done outside AIMlete counts towards the same limits, which is why the weekly schedule matters

For parents

The parent view shows sessions completed, readiness, any reported pain, safety stops and a plain-language monthly summary. Nothing about an athlete is public and there are no leaderboards ranking children.
