Woxsen & SixS Collaborate to Launch India's First Brain Training Lab for Athletes

PRNewswire
Hyderabad (Telangana) [India], May 3: Woxsen University has taken a pioneering step in Indian sports development with the launch of the Woxsen Sports Academy in collaboration with SixS Sports & Business Solutions Pvt Ltd., unveiling the country's first-ever Brain Training Lab for Athletes. The event brought together some of the biggest names in Indian sports and academia, setting a new benchmark in holistic athlete development.
* Pioneering Sports Science Meets Education in a Groundbreaking Initiative
Sports Science Meets Performance: Launch of Brain Training Lab and Biomechanics Tech
At the heart of this revolutionary initiative lies the Brain Training Lab, an innovation that integrates neuroscience and cognitive training with traditional sports performance. Designed to improve focus, reaction time, and decision-making, the lab addresses critical mental aspects of elite athletic performance.
Expanding on this, Woxsen Sports Academy has also introduced a State-of-the-Art Sports Science Centre, featuring cutting-edge Sports Biomechanics technologies:
* Motion Capture System by Xsens: Captures precise 3D human motion in real time, from subtle muscle twitches to dynamic full-body movements. It ensures mobile and stable performance analysis, even in field settings.
* Smart Plantar Pressure Sensor Insoles by Moticon: Offers lab-level gait and foot pressure analysis within the athlete's shoe, eliminating lab constraints.
* Surface Electromyography (EMG) by Delsys: Measures muscle activation during performance and rehabilitation, providing insight into muscle behavior in varied conditions.
These technologies are instrumental in optimizing an athlete's biomechanics, technical skill, and physical conditioning.
Anju Bobby George, World Athletics Medallist & Olympian, remarked, "India's first world medal to our country -- we are giving an opportunity to each one of them. They can choose between sports and education. ABF got another world medal in the junior category. This is a unique opportunity -- the first time I am coming out of my academy to create a new opportunity for athletes and kids. We bring their kids to sports and still help them with their academics. Thank you to all the stakeholders -- hope this brings something new for this country."
Pullela Gopichand, All England Champion & Founder of Gopichand Academy, said, "I think for me it is a great collaboration to have. Congratulations to Anthony and the idea -- nobody better than Woxsen and Raul to understand this. It means a lot to me -- it is not very easy for people to understand sports until you have an entire cycle of champions and failures. My students who play and do not succeed need a backup plan. Either people take the complete education route -- good at cracking exams but not cracking life -- or even when people succeed only in sports, how many can have a good life and manage something in sports? We need mentorship at every level -- together we are addressing that today. Hopefully in the years to come, this will become a game changer for the country. Every sportsperson who spends their time playing will have the same mindset."
MSK Prasad, Former Indian Cricketer & Chief Selector, stated, "Honoured to be a part of a collaborative initiative. Sports is not just about physical aptitude, but an attitude -- a fight within oneself. Going forward, we will talk about physical literacy. A combination of education and sports will definitely help."
Dr. Raul V. Rodriguez, Vice President, Woxsen University, stated, "The launch of the Brain Training Lab is a significant milestone for Woxsen and Indian sports. Through this collaboration with SixS, we are creating a forward-thinking ecosystem that nurtures the mind and body of athletes. Our goal is to provide Indian athletes with the tools, technology, and education needed to compete on the global stage. In fact, our School of Business was ranked #27 in Asia-Pacific in the QS Executive MBA Rankings. We received this recognition just day before yesterday, further affirming our academic excellence and global relevance."
Antony Chacko, CEO, SixS Sports, added, "SixS is a well-recognised sports sciences company. Children are not enjoying due to competition. The key is balance between education, health and mental stress. Sharing the same vision with MSK Prasad, Anil Nayyar, Anju Bobby George, and Pullela Gopichand, we are coming together for a common cause and revolutionising Indian sport for children, ensuring they enjoy the best education, better mental health, and are stress-free. We will produce Olympic champions."
The Woxsen-SixS partnership signals a new era of athlete development, combining education, biomechanics, mental training, and elite mentorship. With India's largest sports infrastructure, advanced technologies, and international collaborations, Woxsen is redefining the future of sports in the country.

India vs England day 3 in stats featuring Jasprit Bumrah's record-setting day

India vs England: Jasprit Bumrah continued his record-breaking spree in Test whites as he spearheaded India's overseas pace bowling in yet another innings with his 14 five-wicket haul at Leeds on Sunday. Bumrah's 5/83 effort ensured that England were bundled out for 465 in their first innings, handing India only a slender six-run lead after his pace partners Mohammed Siraj and Prasidh Krishna endured their worst Test outings at Headingley. India's pace spearhead also scaled new heights in terms of sheer performance of Test bowlers at their peaks, catching up with the primes of Pakistani legends Waqar Younis and Wasim Akram. Here are the top stats and records from India vs England Day 3's play at Leeds: 150 – Jasprit Bumrah became the 30th bowler to record 150 Test wickets in SENA countries (including home bowlers). Only Vernon Philander (20.84) holds a better average than Bumrah (20.88) in the four countries (South Africa, England, New Zealand, Australia). 11 – Bumrah equalled R Ashwin (11 in 78 innings) for the most five-wickets hauls in the World Test Championship in only 67 innings. 12 – Bumrah equalled Kapil Dev for the most Test five-fors among Indian bowlers in away Tests. The tally is also the highest by any pacer in the 21st century. 30.9 – Bumrah's strike rate in his last 20 Tests (37 innings) since Jan 2022 for his 103 wickets is the best for any bowler in history in a 20-match sequence, eclipsing Waqar Younis (32.46 for 133 wickets). 15.27 – Bumrah's average in his last 20 Tests is only bettered by Imran Khan (15.12 for 116 wickets between 1981-85) in a 20-match sequence among all Test pacers. 2 – For the first time in 10 years, two India pacers conceded more than 120 runs (Md Siraj 2/122 and Prasidh Krishna 3/128) in the same Test innings. 6.40 – Prasidh Krishna's economy rate is the worst for an India pacer in a Test innings conceding at least 100 runs. Only Lahiru Kumara (6.56 for 0/164) has conceded more runs at a higher economy in a Test innings among fast bowlers.

Sparks Fly As Mohammed Siraj Engages In War Of Words With Harry Brook

Last Updated: Mohammed Siraj and Harry Brook clashed on Day 3 of the first Test at Headingley, with Brook's aggressive batting frustrating Siraj. Star India pacer Mohammed Siraj and Harry Brook were involved in a heated altercation on Sunday, June 22, Day 3 of the first Test between India and England in Headingley, as the former gave his best to dismiss a set Brook, who looked to attack any bowler that he faced. Brook took down the new ball as the Indian pacers couldn't extract much movement with it. He struck two sublime fours off Siraj, who was running out of ideas. The bowler then issued two words after a prolonged stare. Brook just waved Siraj off, eager to get on with his knock and build on the momentum he had.
