Bangladesh Krira Shikkha Protishtan (BKSP) concluded a three-day specialised training programme on sports medicine and emergency response on 18 June 2026 at its campus in Dhaka, bringing together 100 participants from 16 institutions, according to a statement issued by the organisation said in a press release.
The programme titled Sports, Exercise Medicine and Rehabilitation with Basic Life Support Training was organised by BKSP’s Sports Science Department, with the closing ceremony held at its main facility in Dhaka. BKSP Director General Brigadier General Md Saif Ullah attended the event as chief guest and formally distributed certificates to participants. Senior officials, including BKSP Director (Administration and Finance) Dr Lutfor Rahman and seminar organising secretary Abu Tareq, were also present.
The initiative brought together athletes, coaches, physiotherapists and sports professionals for structured training focused on improving sports-related medical readiness. Participants were drawn from BKSP Dhaka and regional centres as well as 16 other institutions across the country.
In his address, Md Saif Ullah highlighted the growing importance of sports medicine, rehabilitation and emergency healthcare in modern competitive sport. He said maintaining peak athletic performance increasingly depends on integrated medical support systems, particularly in high-intensity environments where injury risk is significant.
He added that basic life support skills are essential in managing on-field emergencies and sudden medical complications, stressing that timely intervention can often determine outcomes in critical situations. According to him, structured training programmes of this nature play an important role in strengthening the professional capacity of those working within the sports ecosystem.
The three-day course combined theoretical instruction with practical sessions covering sports medicine, injury prevention, rehabilitation management and basic life support techniques. Trainers and subject specialists delivered modules designed to build both technical understanding and hands-on response capability.
Officials said the programme was designed to enhance interdisciplinary cooperation between medical professionals and sports practitioners, reflecting a broader institutional focus on improving athlete welfare standards in Bangladesh.
Participants expressed satisfaction with the training content and overall organisation of the programme, noting that the sessions provided practical insight into managing sports injuries and emergency situations. Several attendees highlighted the relevance of the curriculum to day-to-day sporting environments.
The event concluded with certificates being awarded to all 100 delegates who successfully completed the training. Organisers and participants acknowledged the increasing demand for such specialised courses within the national sports sector.
Officials present at the closing ceremony said there is growing interest in expanding similar initiatives in the future, with consideration being given to increasing both the scope and duration of future training programmes. They suggested that extended formats could further strengthen professional competencies across sports disciplines.
BKSP officials described the programme as part of its ongoing efforts to modernise sports education and align training practices with international standards in sports medicine and athlete care.
A total of 100 delegates representing 16 institutions took part in the training, reflecting broad institutional participation and interest in sports science development across the country.
The closing ceremony ended with participants and organisers reaffirming the importance of continued investment in training and capacity building within Bangladesh’s sports sector, particularly in areas linked to health, safety and performance enhancement.
