This study aimed to identify the effect of using the 3D Atlas application for anatomy on the cognitive outcome of the anatomy course for athletes for first-year students in the Department of Sports Sciences and Physical Activity at Taibah University. The aim is to link the research in the area of additive manufacturing of optimized structural elements by means of machine learning with its potential applications in sports equipment optimization based on the appropriate physical activities. The researchers used the experimental method for its suitability to the nature of the study. The researchers used the experimental method for its suitability to the nature of the study. The size of the study sample was 75 students studying the anatomy curriculum for athletes, divided into two groups, one of which was experimental and numbered 31 students, where the 3D Atlas application for anatomy was used, and the other was a control group and numbered 44 students who used the traditional method of education. The researchers applied the experiment to the study sample during the academic year 2023/2024. The most important results of the study were that the experimental group that used the 3D Atlas application for anatomy was superior to the control group in measuring the cognitive outcome in the anatomy course for athletes, using, and the study recommends the necessity of using the 3D Atlas application Anatomy as an important and helpful factor in guiding the educational process and raising the level of knowledge of students in the anatomy course for athletes, in addition to applying other modern technical means that help raise the level of knowledge of students in other courses.
