Pioneering Sports Science Meets Education in a Groundbreaking Initiative

HYDERABAD, India, May 3, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Woxsen University has taken a pioneering step in Indian sports development with the launch of the Woxsen Sports Academy in collaboration with SixS Sports & Business Solutions Pvt Ltd., unveiling the country’s first-ever Brain Training Lab for Athletes. The event brought together some of the biggest names in Indian sports and academia, setting a new benchmark in holistic athlete development.

Sports Science Meets Performance: Launch of Brain Training Lab and Biomechanics Tech

At the heart of this revolutionary initiative lies the Brain Training Lab, an innovation that integrates neuroscience and cognitive training with traditional sports performance. Designed to improve focus, reaction time, and decision-making, the lab addresses critical mental aspects of elite athletic performance.

Expanding on this, Woxsen Sports Academy has also introduced a State-of-the-Art Sports Science Centre, featuring cutting-edge Sports Biomechanics technologies:

Motion Capture System by Xsens: Captures precise 3D human motion in real time, from subtle muscle twitches to dynamic full-body movements. It ensures mobile and stable performance analysis, even in field settings.Smart Plantar Pressure Sensor Insoles by Moticon: Offers lab-level gait and foot pressure analysis within the athlete’s shoe, eliminating lab constraints.Surface Electromyography (EMG) by Delsys: Measures muscle activation during performance and rehabilitation, providing insight into muscle behavior in varied conditions.

These technologies are instrumental in optimizing an athlete’s biomechanics, technical skill, and physical conditioning.

Anju Bobby George, World Athletics Medallist & Olympian, remarked, “India’s first world medal to our country — we are giving an opportunity to each one of them. They can choose between sports and education. ABF got another world medal in the junior category. This is a unique opportunity — the first time I am coming out of my academy to create a new opportunity for athletes and kids. We bring their kids to sports and still help them with their academics. Thank you to all the stakeholders — hope this brings something new for this country.”

Pullela Gopichand, All England Champion & Founder of Gopichand Academy, said, “I think for me it is a great collaboration to have. Congratulations to Anthony and the idea — nobody better than Woxsen and Raul to understand this. It means a lot to me — it is not very easy for people to understand sports until you have an entire cycle of champions and failures. My students who play and do not succeed need a backup plan. Either people take the complete education route — good at cracking exams but not cracking life — or even when people succeed only in sports, how many can have a good life and manage something in sports? We need mentorship at every level — together we are addressing that today. Hopefully in the years to come, this will become a game changer for the country. Every sportsperson who spends their time playing will have the same mindset.”

MSK Prasad, Former Indian Cricketer & Chief Selector, stated, “Honoured to be a part of a collaborative initiative. Sports is not just about physical aptitude, but an attitude — a fight within oneself. Going forward, we will talk about physical literacy. A combination of education and sports will definitely help.”

Dr. Raul V. Rodriguez, Vice President, Woxsen University, stated, “The launch of the Brain Training Lab is a significant milestone for Woxsen and Indian sports. Through this collaboration with SixS, we are creating a forward-thinking ecosystem that nurtures the mind and body of athletes. Our goal is to provide Indian athletes with the tools, technology, and education needed to compete on the global stage. In fact, our School of Business was ranked #27 in Asia-Pacific in the QS Executive MBA Rankings. We received this recognition just day before yesterday, further affirming our academic excellence and global relevance.”

Antony Chacko, CEO, SixS Sports, added, “SixS is a well-recognised sports sciences company. Children are not enjoying due to competition. The key is balance between education, health and mental stress. Sharing the same vision with MSK Prasad, Anil Nayyar, Anju Bobby George, and Pullela Gopichand, we are coming together for a common cause and revolutionising Indian sport for children, ensuring they enjoy the best education, better mental health, and are stress-free. We will produce Olympic champions.”

The Woxsen-SixS partnership signals a new era of athlete development, combining education, biomechanics, mental training, and elite mentorship. With India’s largest sports infrastructure, advanced technologies, and international collaborations, Woxsen is redefining the future of sports in the country.

A future of reproductive medicine where humanity and trust sit in harmony with spectacular advances in artificial intelligence

Published

on

By

SINGAPORE, May 3, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Artificial intelligence, or AI, is transforming our lives in dynamic and challenging ways, including the ability to create life.

In assisted reproduction, AI and automation tools have taken fertility specialists to new frontiers in precision, efficiency and personalisation with the technology beaming with promise for patients striving for parenthood.

However, a world leader in reproductive medicine has warned of the dangers of “racing ahead of the rules” as AI algorithms and codes create new dimensions in fertility health care.

Speaking at the 2025 Congress of the Asia Pacific Initiative on Reproduction (ASPIRE) in Singapore today, Professor Ying Cheong said human connection, trust, transparency and ethical responsibility must remain “at the heart of what we do” as fertility clinics increasingly embrace the technological wonders of AI.

She is Professor of Reproductive Medicine at the University of Southampton in the United Kingdom where her research interests include uterine health with interdisciplinary collaboration in electronics and computer science in the development of clinical tools.

“AI-driven tools offer promise through validation for example in optimising ovarian stimulation by predicting patient responses, reducing ovarian hyperstimulation risk, and improving oocyte yield,” Professor Cheong explained.

“Machine learning models assist in embryo selection with the aim of improving implantation rates and pregnancy success.

“Beyond the laboratory, AI and automation are streamlining fertility clinic workflows. Robotics-assisted micromanipulation, AI-enhanced incubators, and non-invasive preimplantation genetic testing (PGT) are advancing embryo assessment.

“Meanwhile, wearable biosensors and intrauterine devices are emerging as potential AI-integrated tools for real-time uterine monitoring.”

Yet, Professor Cheong said artificial intelligence in assisted reproduction posed a range of questions relating to:

trust in clinical tools;data privacy and patient consent;commercialisation, ownership and power; andregulatory and ethical parameters.

“AI tools require clinical validation across diverse populations, and ethical concerns around bias and decision-making must be addressed,” she said.

“The technology should complement, not replace clinical expertise ensuring a human-in-the-loop approach. With careful validation and ethical oversight, AI can improve accessibility, affordability and success rates in fertility treatment.”

Professor Cheong also highlighted the importance of building a social data ecosystem that allows data to be shared responsibly, securely and with full public transparency.

“Trustworthy AI starts with trustworthy data,” she explained. “That means models like a Social Data Foundation where patients, providers and researchers collaborate equally,’ she said.

“We need to be mindful of making access to advanced technology in reproductive medicine accessible for all, for example through open access AI platforms and public private partnerships.

“AI is here now, and we need to adapt fast. While it will transform our tools, it must not transform our purpose.

“In a world racing to build smarter machines, our greatest achievement will be remembering how to be better humans.”

Around 2,000 experts in fertility health, including scientists, clinicians, nurses and counsellors, are attending the ASPIRE Congress at the Suntec Convention and Exhibition Centre in Singapore. For more information, go to www.aspire2025.com
