A new-level research centre for the Central Asian region has begun operating at the State Institute of Physical Culture and Sport of Turkmenistan. Its equipment corresponds to the technologies used in the Olympic academies of leading sports countries, according to the online publication Arzuw News.

The centre's laboratories are equipped with Italian ‘BOD POD’ and ‘Cosmed’ systems, which allow for detailed analysis of body composition. The ‘SpeedCourt’ system, known from the academies of ‘Bayern Munich’ and ‘Real Madrid’ football clubs, is used to assess speed and coordination.

In addition, specialists have access to the ‘Höhenbalance’ installation, which creates high-altitude conditions and allows for specialised training.

The centre's infrastructure includes departments for restorative massage and psychological training, which use modern approaches ranging from visual therapy to stress management training. The complex is complemented by physiotherapy rooms designed for the rehabilitation of athletes after injuries.
