Escala de percepciones hacia la inteligencia artificial: adaptación cultural y validación en Ciencias del Deporte

Artificial intelligence is redefining training processes in sports. Having valid and reliable instruments to assess professionals’ perceptions of this technology is essential for its integration. Objective: To evaluate the psychometric properties of the artificial intelligence perception scale in sports science through its translation, cultural adaptation into Spanish, and validation in sports science professionals. Methods: A cross-sectional, instrumental study developed in four phases: translation, linguistic adaptation, cognitive evaluation, and psychometric analysis. Content validity was estimated using Aiken’s V coefficient with the participation of 16 experts. Psychometric evaluation was conducted with 391 professionals using Cronbach’s α and exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses. Results: The scale showed adequate content validity (Aiken’s V = 0.88) and moderate internal consistency (α = 0.626). The bifactorial structure presented limited fit indices. Conclusions: The Spanish version of the SHAIP scale presents acceptable psychometric properties for exploratory use in sports sciences.
