Rest assured, NSI support staff monitoring shuttlers’ conditions in France

Getting it right: NSI physical training expert Shafiq Amran guiding Aaron Chia through a workout during a training session.

PETALING JAYA: The biggest concern of the national shuttlers during their final push for the Paris Olympics is injury risks and a drop in physical condition but these aspects are well covered by the National Sports Institute’s support staff (NSI) who are at the Aire Sur La Lys training camp in Northern France.

The 10-day camp is not just meant for men’s doubles Aaron Chia-Soh Wooi Yik, women’s pair Pearly Tan-M. Thinaah and mixed doubles combination Chen Tang Jie-Toh Ee Wei to sharpen their skills but there is plenty of emphasis to maintain their physical condition at an optimum level before moving to the Games Village.
