The partnership, which began last season and has now been renewed, is designed to support the players throughout the competitive calendar through preventive screening, multidisciplinary medical evaluation and access to Medicana\u2019s experience in sports medicine and athlete health. The assessments were carried out before the team intensified preparations for the 2026-2027 season.<\/p>\n

The programme also included electrocardiography, echocardiography, exercise testing, pulmonary function testing and laboratory analyses to provide a broad evaluation of cardiovascular, respiratory and general health.<\/p>\n The screening process focused not only on confirming fitness to compete, but also on identifying individual health considerations that may affect training load, recovery and performance over the course of a demanding season. Following completion of the evaluations, the players were able to continue their pre-season preparations with medical clearance and a clearer picture of their current health status.<\/p>\n A CLUB WITH A GROWING NATIONAL AND EUROPEAN PROFILE<\/p>\n Turkish Airlines Sports Club Women\u2019s Volleyball Team competes in the Vodafone Sultanlar League, Turkiye\u2019s top-flight women\u2019s volleyball competition. The Istanbul-based team has also built a sustained European presence, appearing in continental competitions in consecutive seasons since 2020, including the CEV Champions League and the CEV Volleyball Cup. This competitive profile places a premium on consistent medical monitoring, recovery management and preventive care across a long domestic and international calendar.<\/p>\n By renewing its healthcare sponsorship, Medicana will continue to stand alongside the club\u2019s players and technical staff during the new season. The collaboration reflects a shared emphasis on preparation, continuity and high standards, while helping professional athletes access coordinated healthcare within a single multidisciplinary network.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Photo: Melis Y\u0131lmaz of Turkish Airlines Sports Club Women\u2019s Volleyball Team via FL Comms<\/p>\n MEDICANA\u2019S LONG-TERM COMMITMENT TO SPORT<\/p>\n The partnership with Turkish Airlines Sports Club forms part of Medicana Health Group\u2019s wider commitment to Turkish sport.
