چکیده مقاله:

The application of genetic algorithms (GAs) in optimizing team selection and performance in professional sports has garnered significant attention due to its potential to enhance decision-making and improve outcomes. A genetic algorithm is an evolutionary computational technique that mimics the process of natural selection, utilizing processes such as selection, crossover, mutation, and inheritance to find optimal solutions. In the context of sports, GAs offer a powerful tool for solving complex optimization problems, such as player selection, team composition, and tactical planning. This abstract explores the role of genetic algorithms in transforming the way professional sports teams approach player recruitment and performance optimization.Genetic algorithms allow sports organizations to process large amounts of player data, including performance statistics, physical attributes, injury histories, and psychological factors, to generate optimal team configurations. By evaluating various combinations of players and strategies, GAs help identify the most effective team structures, thereby maximizing team performance while minimizing risks associated with player injury or underperformance. Additionally, GAs can adapt over time by evolving the decision-making process based on real-time data, which is crucial in an environment as dynamic as professional sports.This paper reviews several case studies and applications where genetic algorithms have been successfully implemented to improve team selection, such as in football, basketball, and baseball. In football, for instance, GAs have been used to optimize player roles, considering not only technical skills but also team dynamics and tactical approaches. Similarly, in basketball, GAs have been employed to develop rotation strategies that maximize player efficiency and minimize fatigue over the course of a season.However, the application of GAs in sports is not without challenges. Issues related to data quality, algorithm complexity, and computational resources must be addressed to achieve reliable and actionable insights. Furthermore, while genetic algorithms can provide valuable guidance, they must be integrated with expert judgment and coaching insights to achieve optimal results.In conclusion, genetic algorithms represent a promising approach to enhancing team selection and performance optimization in professional sports. Their ability to handle large-scale data and adapt to changing conditions positions them as a valuable asset for sports teams aiming for sustained competitive success.
