12/26/22, 8:48 AM The General Authority of Sports hosts workshop to advance skill development and train medical professionals in sports sector
“The General Authority of Sports (GAS) is consistently working to improve

collaboration with federations and clubs in the medical sector, and keeping up with the
best international studies in the field of injury prevention. This is even more important

as it has grown into a broad science that serves as the foundation of modern sports

medicine and assists in providing a better path for athletes by evaluating all the factors
that aid in the prevention of injuries,” he added.

Furthermore, the lecture concentrated on the significance of physical examinations

and their primary function in supporting players, which are further used in the

development of training regimens for these athletes. These tests serve as effective
tools in assessing the players' physical and mental preparedness, along with the need

to alter their training patterns and address any weaknesses that surface.

An ‘innovation lab’ in the field of prevention of sports injuries was also held after the

lecture, which consisted of discussions about medical issues, and the need for new

and innovative approaches to improve the daily operations of medical professionals.
The lab's primary objective was to help participants focus on the factors that increase

a player's risk of injuries, such as inadequate psychological preparation, failure in

choosing the right training exercises, neglecting regular checkups, poor nutrition, and
lack of compliance with periodic examinations.

The General Authority of Sports (GAS) works to promote awareness in the field of

sports medicine by hosting several workshops, in collaboration with major institutions

in the sector. Through the exchange of knowledge and best practices, the Authority
aims to promote injury prevention in sports and empower the medical staff.
