Sri Lanka Badminton has launched an online fitness program to help shuttlers keep their fitness routines intact during the pandemic.
The program, named ‘Keep Shuttle Fit’, is conducted by the national coaches with 28 players in the National Pool and as many players in the Challenger Pool taking part in virtually conducted fitness sessions at their homes instead of their regular training centers, under the watchful eyes of their coaches.
Apart from the National players and the Challenge Pool members, two satellite National Pools in Ambalangoda and Kandy also join the Keep Shuttle Fit program which is conducted every weekday morning for a period of three hours.
Players in the National Junior Pool also join the virtual fitness sessions.
