Abstract: This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness and potential use of artificial intelligence (AI) chatbots in developing personalized exercise programs for weight management. Exercise programs were developed by ChatGPT-4, ChatGPT-4o, Gemini-1.5 Pro models, and a group of human expert trainers for a hypothetical obese individual case. All exercise programs were assessed based on the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) and National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM) guidelines. The chatbot-generated programs were consistent with ACSM and NASM standards, indicating their potential use in low-resource settings. Nevertheless, considerable differences were found between human trainers and chatbots in key parameters, including initial load and target heart rate zone recommendations. While AI chatbots have the potential to enhance accessibility, human expertise remains essential to ensure program safety and effectiveness. The results of this study provide insights into the potential role of AI chatbots in personalized exercise programs for weight management. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
