The Scientific and Methodological Center "Olymp," which has become a strategically important link in the system of preparing Turkmen athletes for competitions in various sports, presented its achievements and advanced practices at the International Exhibition "Healthcare, Education and Sports in the Era of the Revival of the New Epoch of the Powerful State."
Since its creation, the Center, established on the basis of the Turkmen State Institute of Physical Culture and Sports, has proven itself as an effective structure that contributes to the development of sports in the country and the training of high-level athletes.
The main areas of activity of the Center include conducting scientific research, developing new training methods, and organizing seminars and training sessions for coaches aimed at improving their qualifications. Serious attention is paid to the dietetics, physiology and psychology of athletes, which helps create optimal conditions for athlete preparation.
One important aspect of athlete preparation is regular testing, which allows for a thorough assessment of their physical fitness level.
As noted by a representative of the Center, each athlete undergoes four diagnostics annually using modern European equipment. Based on the data obtained, individual training plans are developed, allowing for maximum adaptation of the training program to the unique needs and goals of each athlete.
The Faculty of Olympic Sports was created in 2019 following a Decree by the President of Turkmenistan and actively trains highly qualified specialists and athletes in major sports included in the Olympic Games program.
In September 2020, a new complex of facilities of the Faculty was opened with the blessing of the National Leader of the Turkmen people, Hero-Arkadag. This became the foundation for forming a modern scientific laboratory. Currently, a comprehensive scientific group is working here on developing scientific foundations for preparing athletes for national teams.
