ELEVEN athletes, who are actively involved in Ultimate Frisbee competitions both in the local and regional levels, have just added sports specific functional fitness training into their weekly regime at the Hybrid Movement Functional Training Centre in Menglait, under the head trainer, Darren Chai.
The training will help the athletes to be more physically and mentally prepared for their upcoming Ultimate Frisbee competitions.
Hybrid Movement is now offering Athletic Sports Performance training sessions for any sporting individual or team, to improve their fitness, coordination, game strategy and mental acuteness.
“I want to help local athletes to excel in their chosen sport,” said Darren Chai, the founder and head trainer at the Hybrid Movement Functional Training Centre.
“I have been a national athlete since I was young, in swimming, tennis and now, basketball. I also do golf, badminton and crossfit. I understand the challenges faced by athletes, and so with customised Hybrid Movement programmes for specific sports, I believe that it can support the fitness development of athletes that will complement their skills training.”

Radzi Adnan, the Ultimate Frisbee coach of the Tropicals team, sees the performance training as crucial for his players’ weekly regime and team-building.
“All of us felt it was a very good session, when the hybrid movement coaches showed us how important it is to be fit both physically and mentally, in order to perform better on field.
“Our strengths and weaknesses were pointed out, in terms of endurance and explosive levels. We were also taught how certain mobility issues can be sorted out, by practising certain exercises and stretches,” he said.
