While promising prospects and players who left tasks unfinished for the season are breaking a sweat at the Kagoshima Level-Up Camp in Japan, the recovery group remaining at Munhak is deeply engaged in unusual training.
SSG Landers is operating an "Active Recovery Program" combining yoga and meditation to help the physical and mental recharging of Munhak recovery group players during the off-season.
The purpose of this active recovery training is to alleviate muscle fatigue and physical tension accumulated in players from repeated training and games throughout the season. In particular, as word spreads that this program, which is consistently held twice a week, is effective not only for simple weight training but also for balancing the body, players' voluntary participation and positive reactions continue.
Key players who consumed significant stamina are largely participating, including Oh Tae-gon, who served as team captain this year, Park Sung-han, who played full-time as a starting shortstop, and Jo Byung-hyun, who handled both the World Baseball Classic (WBC) and the Asian Games.
■ "Beyond Static Rest to Active Recovery"... Combining 'Yoga and Meditation' with Running and Strength
The core of the Munhak recovery group's training is "active recovery through movement," moving beyond simple rest. While basing it on "running and conditioning" to boost basic physical fitness and weight training to correct muscle imbalances, they have newly combined "yoga and meditation" sessions. The goal is to simultaneously improve the quality of movement (functional recovery) and alleviate stress (mental recovery) through yoga, breathing, and meditation.
■ Veteran Physical Therapist and Singing Bowl Specialist Deployed... "Simultaneous Care for Body and Mind"
To enhance the professionalism of the program, two veteran external instructors in the fields of yoga and meditation were invited. A therapy yoga instructor who is an expert in physical therapy and body correction helps players' physical alignment and mobility recovery with anatomy-based movements. Following this, a meditation specialist with over 20 years of experience conducts static yoga that deeply relaxes muscles and "Singing Bowl Sound Bath," which helps stabilize the mind and body through clear sounds, inducing deep rest for the players.
Oh Tae-gon said, "I am well alleviating the mental stress and physical fatigue that unknowingly accumulated over a season through this program. As years pass, flexibility and joint mobility become important, and by fully focusing on my body's alignment and breathing under the guidance of experts, my condition has become much lighter. I will recover well and show good performance on the ground next year as well."
Park Sung-han said, "By doing yoga in parallel, I can finely stimulate muscles that I usually do not use much, which is definitely helpful. As I am actively recovering my body by deeply relaxing knotted muscles through breathing, I will solidly refill my basic physical fitness for next season."
