12/26/22, 8:48 AM General Authority of Sports hosts workshop - Health Magazine
Omar Abdulrahman Al Ali, Director of the Sports Leadership Center, said: “Our latest workshop
was designed to provide technical, administrative, and medical support to the various individuals

working in the sports sector. Additionally, this is in line with the government’s directives and the
50 principles, which support investments in human capital and skill development, as well as

promote the adoption of the best medical facilities, thereby preventing injuries and better
preparing our players for success.”

“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.
