Enhancing psychological resilience and decision-making in basketball players through emerging technologies.

ABSTRACT: The combination of sports psychology and new wearable technology is allowing experts to assess psychological and cognitive performance in elite basketball more accurately. This study investigates the application of Human Activity Recognition (HAR) using wrist-worn inertial measurement unit (IMU) sensors to infer psychological resilience and decision-making quality in basketball players. We utilized the Hang-Time HAR dataset comprising 24 participants across structured drills and unstructured game scenarios, extracting temporal, spatial, and frequency-domain features from accelerometer data. Machine learning models, including Support Vector Machines (SVM), Random Forest (RF), and Gradient Boosting, were employed to classify psychological states. Findings indicated that resilience and decisi
