The objective of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of mobile AI-generated personalized sleep feedback based on objective sleep metrics among high school female soccer players and to explore preliminary effects on sleep-related outcomes, mood state, and sports injury-related burden, with sleep efficiency specified as the main preliminary efficacy outcome.
Efficacy
Exploratory
Pragmatic
Not applicable
The main preliminary efficacy outcome was sleep efficiency measured using Fitbit Inspire 3. Change was calculated from the mean value during the baseline observation period (weeks 1-4) to the mean value during the intervention period (weeks 6-9), and change scores were compared between the intervention and control groups.
Secondary and exploratory outcomes included total sleep time, wake after sleep onset, deep sleep duration, light sleep duration, rapid eye movement sleep duration measured using Fitbit Inspire 3, the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index Japanese version (PSQI-J) total score, the Sleep Difficulty Score of the Athlete Sleep Screening Questionnaire Japanese version (ASSQ-J), the Japanese version of the Epworth Sleepiness Scale (JESS) total score, the Total Mood Disturbance score of the Japanese version of the Profile of Mood States 2nd Edition, and sports injury-related burden/severity assessed using a modified OSTRC-H-J. Questionnaire-based outcomes were assessed at week 5 and week 10. Feasibility outcomes included LINE message delivery success rate, number of valid Fitbit wear nights, questionnaire completion rate, technical problems, adverse events, and privacy-related problems.

Intervention group: During weeks 6 to 9, personalized sleep feedback generated by ChatGPT-4o was delivered via the LINE Messaging API based on Fitbit Inspire 3 sleep data from the previous night and baseline mean values for each participant. Feedback was delivered only on days when valid sleep data from the previous night were available.
Control group: As an attention control, participants received general and nonpersonalized sleep-related information via LINE once daily at 8:00 AM during the 4-week intervention period (weeks 6 to 9). The content was limited to general sleep hygiene, the role of sleep, general knowledge for athletes, environmental adjustment, and relaxation strategies, and did not include personalized advice based on individual Fitbit data, subjective condition, training status, or previous responses.

Female
Female soccer players belonging to a high school sports club who were expected to continue regular training and matches during the study period. Participants were required to be able to wear Fitbit Inspire 3 and receive messages via LINE, and to provide assent with written parental consent after receiving an explanation of the study.
Participants were excluded if they were expected to be absent for a prolonged period during the study, were unable to wear Fitbit Inspire 3 continuously, were unable to receive messages continuously via LINE, or were considered unsuitable for participation by the principal investigator.

All 25 participants completed the trial. Delivery and questionnaire completion rates were 100%. No major technical problems, adverse events, or privacy breaches occurred. Exploratory analyses showed favorable between-group differences in sleep efficiency, REM sleep duration, PSQI-J, Sleep Difficulty Score, and TMD. No clear differences were found in total sleep time, daytime sleepiness, or injury-related burden. Findings are hypothesis-generating.

Participants were 25 high school female soccer players with a mean age of 16.93 years (SD 0.70) and a mean playing experience of 9.61 years (SD 2.14). After randomization, 12 participants were allocated to the intervention group and 13 to the control group. At baseline, there were no significant between-group differences in demographic characteristics or any outcome measures.
A total of 25 participants were enrolled before study initiation. After randomization, 12 participants were assigned to the intervention group and 13 to the control group. There were no dropouts during the study period, and all 25 participants were included in the final analysis.
No adverse events related to the intervention or device use were observed in this study. No privacy breaches, including leakage of personal information, occurred.
The primary outcome was sleep efficiency as the main preliminary efficacy outcome. Secondary and exploratory outcomes were total sleep time, wake after sleep onset, deep sleep duration, light sleep duration, rapid eye movement sleep duration, PSQI-J total score, the Sleep Difficulty Score of the ASSQ-J, JESS total score, Total Mood Disturbance score, and sports injury-related burden/severity assessed using a modified OSTRC-H-J. Objective sleep metrics were continuously measured using Fitbit Inspire 3, and questionnaire-based assessments were conducted at week 5 and week 10. Feasibility outcomes included LINE message delivery success rate, number of valid Fitbit wear nights, questionnaire completion rate, technical problems, adverse events, and privacy-related problems.
