Sports Complex Asks Kalmadi To Speed Up Infrastructure Upgrade
By akansha, Section Infrastructure  The Sports Science Centre was set up during the Commonwealth Youth Games in 2008. The centre has now been handed over to the Sancheti Institute of Orthopaedics and Rehabilitation for the management of the health of athletes participating in national camps. A memorandum of understanding was signed between the government and the institute in August last year to provide health training facilities to athletes and 200 students of Krida Prabodhini. A staff of ten, including physiotherapists, orthopaedics, physicians and others work shifts while the training camps are on at Balewadi. The chief coordinator of the centre Dr Parag Sancheti has sought Kalmadi's intervention in starting a casualty ward in the main hall apart from implementing structural changes in the flooring of the biomechanics system. "The centre was set up with a vision of training Indian athletes using equipment of international standards.

Some of the most fascinating equipment at the Sports Science Centre include the isokinetic machine that measures the strength of human muscles, the VO2 max machine that measures in numbers the cardio-respiratory capacity of sportsmen, motion analysis centre and so on," Sancheti said.
"To give a high altitude training to sportsmen, the sports authorities have set up an interesting glass chamber known as low oxygen chamber. This chamber mimics the condition that exists at high altitudes and working under this condition greatly enhances the capacity of sportsmen to perform under normal conditions. We have the nation's best athletes training here and need to ensure that these machines are properly maintained," he added. With the one-year warranty period of the machines over, Sancheti said it was the duty of the management to ensure the good upkeep of the equipments. They have also demanded an overhead tank to be set up to meet the water supply requirements. Sanjay Sabnis, Assistant Director of Youth and Sports, Maharashtra, said that the funds have been released and payments will be made soon.
The annual maintenance contract will also be awarded soon, he said. Kalmadi could not be contacted.
