KARADA Factory Partners with Senshu University Badminton Club
KARADA Factory, a prominent name in body care and wellness, has recently forged a partnership with the Senshu University Badminton Club, based in Kawasaki City, Kanagawa Prefecture. This collaboration involves a contract for sports trainer services, aimed at maximizing athlete performance through specialized physical support, effective from January 2026. The company's unique A.P. Balance theory will be instrumental in their support strategy, focusing on maintaining the physical well-being of busy student athletes.
Purpose of the Contract
The Senshu University Badminton Club is renowned for its intense training and high standards, making it one of the top badminton schools in Japan. Badminton involves repetitive, asymmetrical movements, which can lead to strain in specific areas of the body. Rather than merely enhancing strength, the partnership with KARADA Factory aims to focus on foundational body care. This approach involves recovery support before and after training sessions, during camps, and competitions, ensuring that athletes consistently reach their peak performance throughout the year.
KARADA Factory is committed to aiding athletes in achieving optimal performance while promoting recovery, conditioning maintenance, and extending sporting careers. From January 2026, regular maintenance sessions will commence at training sites, followed by care support during competitions from February onwards. Given its extensive experience and knowledge in athlete support, KARADA Factory aims to contribute to the advancement of Japan's sports scene by ensuring athletes perform at their best over the long term.
Comments from Coach Nobu Oshio of Senshu University Badminton Club
Coach Nobu Oshio expressed, "The primary reason for introducing a trainer is our commitment to thorough condition management. Given the specific demands of badminton, which blends aerobic and anaerobic exercises with complex skills like footwork and racket handling, athletes often accumulate unexpected physical strain. Through the expertise of trainers from KARADA Factory, we aim to educate students on the importance of training tailored to their individual capabilities and establishing a flexible body structure. Improving the quality of daily self-maintenance will ultimately enhance each athlete's performance."
