In a significant move to elevate coaching standards in combat sports, the Sports Authority of India (SAI) organized a specialized workshop on sports science. Held at a premier training facility, the event brought together coaches from disciplines like boxing, wrestling, judo, and taekwondo. The workshop aimed to bridge the gap between traditional training methods and modern scientific approaches.
Over 100 coaches participated in intensive sessions covering biomechanics, injury prevention, and performance optimization. Renowned sports scientists and physiotherapists delivered lectures and hands-on demonstrations. Participants explored cutting-edge tools such as force plate analysis and GPS tracking to refine athlete training regimens.
SAI officials emphasized the workshop’s role in India’s Olympic preparations. ‘Combat sports demand precision and resilience,’ said a senior SAI director. ‘Equipping coaches with scientific knowledge will produce medal-winning athletes.’ Interactive sessions allowed coaches to discuss real-world challenges and develop personalized training plans.
The event concluded with certification ceremonies and networking opportunities. Coaches left with actionable insights and a commitment to implement sports science in their programs. This initiative underscores SAI’s dedication to fostering a scientifically driven sports ecosystem in India, setting the stage for future successes on global platforms.
