On November 30, 2022, the emergence of a super-large artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot called ChatGPT (chat generative pre-trained transformer) astonished the world with its exceptional performance capabilities. ChatGPT is a trained AI chatbot developed by an American AI research laboratory called OpenAI. It provides users with a dialogueformat online chat that responds to and follows up on questions, admits mistakes, challenges incorrect premises, and rejects inappropriate requests. ChatGPT has evolved tremendously in just a few months (GPT-4 was released on March 14, 2023) to include multiple advanced features, such as image and infographic analysis, extended text processing, and safer and more accurate responses. Many experts, professionals, and scholars in various fields are looking at both the advantages and disadvantages of using this tool, and the field of kinesiology is no exception. Because technological advancement is inevitable, people working in a range of industries are considering how and to what extent they can incorporate ChatGPT and other tools that offer similar capabilities and features (e.g., Google Bard, Microsoft Bing, and Chatsonic) into their daily work. As in other fields of study, ChatGPT can be deployed to promote work efficiency for practitioners, learners, educators, and researchers within the field of kinesiology. Stakeholders should learn and stay updated with the latest version of ChatGPT to enhance overall performance in each subdiscipline of kinesiology while experimenting with its new features to obtain more accurate and productive responses. The purpose of this article is to discuss how ChatGPT can be used in the field of kinesiology, and more specifically in the areas of exercise science, physical activity and health promotion, physical education, and sport management, along with topics related to accuracy optimization, its use in higher education, challenges, concerns, ethical considerations, and future directions.

The aim of this paper is to provide strategies for coaches to improve their ability to implement goal setting practices with groups or teams. First, an overview of effective goal setting practices is provided. Next, a three-step goal setting system is introduced to assist when setting goals with teams. Concrete examples from a variety of different team sports are included to aid coaches in better understanding what these practices and processes look like in a team setting when implemented properly.

Summary: Asthma is a complex disorder and evidence now suggests that it is not solely attributable either to allergy or eosinophilia. Non-eosinophilic asthma accounts for up to one half of all cases and a large proportion have a non-allergic aetiology. The innate immune system responds to a variety of triggers, including viral and bacterial components which are known non-allergic triggers of asthma. The innate immune response may be involved in both the development of and protection against asthma. Factors which are likely to determine the nature of the response include the timing of the exposure (childhood or adulthood), baseline asthma inflammatory subtype (eosinophilic or non-eosinophilic) and the dose of the exposure. Gene–environment interactions are likely to modify the response. Further research is required to elucidate the specific mechanisms involved in the innate immune response in asthma and will be important in the identification of new targets for therapy and management.
