K'taka to have 'brain training centre' for athletes

The Centre for Sports Science (CSS), an initiative of the Department of Youth Empowerment and Sports, has launched the brain training centre at Kanteerva Stadium. This pioneering facility integrates cognitive and physical training of athletes.

Speaking to TNIE, Antony Chacko, Director of CSS said, "To enhance the mental and physical health of athletes, the cognitive training combines brain training techniques with physical regimens, ensuring athletes are equipped to excel both on and off the field. While few other states in India have six-month brain training programmes, Karnataka is the first state in the country to have this facility."
