The wrestlers said they are pleased with their training sessions, and were satisfied with the facilities provided by the Sports Authority of India (SAI).
The team physiotherapist Arvindre Pal Singh, said that the wrestlers are taken care of, both physically and mentally.
“We train them mainly in the areas like stretching during and after practice or else we take care of the injuries, and we train with which muscle part will give benefit and what group of muscles are working. So, we take care of all the medical facilities so that in later stages they don’t find any problems. We also take care of their state of mind, we consult them,” said Singh.
