  Utkal Karate School launches sports science centre
05 Feb 2016
 

Utkal Karate School, a leading local self-defence, fitness and yoga academy, launched a sports science centre and two modern gymnasiums here at its own complex today.  Hockey Olympian and Rajya Sabha Member Dilip Tirkey, who from his LAD Fund had given Rs 20 lakh to the school for construction of sports and rehabilitation centre, inaugurated the infrastructure facilities in the presence of school founder Hari Prasad Pattanayak and Odisha Powerlifting Association secretary Chitta Ranjan Swain.

 

The sports science centre resembles a big gym, equipped with both foreign and indigenous machines for sports and fitness training. The 90x40ft-size gym, located in the first of the three-floored school complex, also has a special facility known as `Uphill Ramp’.

According to Pattanayak, the 24ft-long ramp, which looks like a big ladder and connects the sports science centre to the ground, is meant to help athletes gain explosive speed.

The sports science centre boasts of two machines, which have been designed and manufactured by the school itself. One is meant for neck-muscle strengthening and the other for antagonistic muscle contraction and stretching. Pattanayak says more machines will be added to the centre soon.

The school founder claims that the sports science centre is capable of providing fitness training to Olympic level athletes. The two new gyms, situated on the opposite side of the sports science centre, would cater to the needs of upmarket fitness enthusiasts. Titled as Classy Gyms, these two air-conditioned gyms are equipped with wide range of modern equipments.
