37 Pelatih dan Asisten Jalani Pelatihan Masseure

Sebanyak 54 pelatih, asisten pelatih dan ofisial (37 cabor) PON XX Papua mengikuti pelatihan peningkatan ketrampilan tenaga masseure, Senin (12/10/2020), di Aula Kantor KONI Papua.

Pelatihan yang bertujuan menambah wawasan dan pengetahuan terkait penanganan pertama terhadap cidera atlet tersebut, dibuka oleh Wakil Sekretaris KONI Papua Daud Ngabalin. 

“Pelatihan ini kita lakukan karena salah satu aspek paling penting dan sangat mendukung dalam sukses perlombaan di semua cabor adalah masseure,” terang Daud, disela-sela kegiatan itu. 

Wakil Ketua II Puslatprov Papua, Letkol Inf Asep Supriyanto mengapresiasi kegiatan tersebut. 

Dia katakan,  keberadaan tenaga masseure sangat penting untuk menunjang dan membantu para pelatih serta asisten pelatih, ketika para atletnya mengalami cidera dalam latihan.

“Sekali lagi saya katakan, kegiatan ini sangat diperlukan sekali. Sebab tenaga masseure ini di Papua hanya beberapa orang saja, sementara seluruh cabor sangat membutuhkan tenaganya”. 

“Makanya dari KONI dan Puslatprov mengambil kegiatan ini, khususnya kepada setiap asisten pelatih. Sebab kita tidak bisa merekrut seorang masseure untuk masing-masing cabor. Sebab akan membutuhkan dana yang besar. Sehingga yang ada ini dilatih agar bisa merangkap,” tambah ia.

Sementara Ketua Panitia Pelaksana Tery Wanane katakan, kegiatan selama empat hari itu diharapkan mampu meminimalisasi cidera berat atlet saat latihan. 

“Supaya nanti ketika ada terjadi cidera awal sudah bisa ditangani pelatih, asisten pelatih dan ofisial. Kecuali untuk yang berat akan ditangani oleh tim masseure serta tim kesehatan”.

“Intinya pelatihan ini untuk penanganan awal bagi atlet yang cidera agar bisa cepat tertangani,” terangnya.

Diketahui, kegiatan pelatihan tersebut mendatangkan dua tenaga ahli masseure yang saat ini tengah menangani tim Pelatnas.

A total of 54 coaches, assistant coaches and official (37 sports) National Sports Week XX Papua participated in masseur skills improvement training, Monday (12/10/2020), at KONI Papua Office Hall.

The training, which aims to add insight and knowledge regarding the first handling of the athlete's injuries, was opened by Deputy Secretary of KONI Papua Daud Ngabalin.

"This training we do because one of the most important and very supportive aspects in the success of the race in all sports is masseur," explained David, interrupted by the event.

Vice Chairman II of Provincial Training Center Papua, Lt. Col. Inf Asep Supriyanto appreciated the activity. He said the presence of masseur personnel is very important to support and assist the coaches and assistant coaches, when the athletes are injured in training.

"Again I say, this activity is absolutely necessary. Because this masseur personnel in Papua is only a few people, while the whole sport is in desperate need of its energy".

"That's why KONI and Provincial Training Center take this activity, especially to every assistant coach because we can't recruit a masseur for each sport. It's going to take a lot of money. So these are trained to be able to double up," he added. 

Meanwhile, Chairman of the Executive Committee Tery Wanane said that the four-day activity is expected to minimize the severe injuries of athletes during training.

"So when there is an initial injury can be handled by the coach, assistant coach and official. Except for the heavy will be handled by the masseurs team as well as the health team".

"The bottom line is this training is for initial treatment for injured athletes in order to be dealt with quickly," he explained.

It is known that the training activities brought in two masseurs experts who are currently working on the National Team.
