Dr. Zhang Hualun and Dr. Chen Xiaoqian, physical therapist, shared the benefits of yoga during the press conference. Dr. Zhang stated that yoga not only helps with stress relief and relaxation, but also improves breathing and focus, benefiting both athletes and the general public. Dr. Chen pointed out that yoga effectively enhances flexibility, improves mobility, reduces the risk of injury, and improves coordination, positively impacting both daily training and competition performance. Both experts agreed that yoga is beneficial not only for athletes but for everyone's overall health.

The meditation aspect of yoga also enhances focus, which is very helpful on the fast-paced badminton court. Additionally, yoga helps with stress relief, and I've noticed its positive effect on improving mental resilience." He has since fallen in love with this holistic sport. Lee Yang is honored to participate in this wo rld record challenge and is prepared to train hard, ensuring his participation on June 21st.
