The Empress of Volleyball entered the court with a bag before the game, a training tool favored by Heungkuk Life Insurance players
[마이데일리 = 수원 유진형 기자]Before the game started, ‘Volleyball Empress’ Kim Yeon-kyung appeared on the court to warm up. In her hand was a small bag. What was in the eco bag she brought with her?
It was a rubber band. A rubber band is an elastic band made of latex or rubber that is highly portable and is a common stretching tool found anywhere. If used properly, it is effective in increasing whole body strength and is excellent for preventing injuries as it allows you to warm up without overexerting yourself before a game.
Heungkuk Life Insurance’s many players, including Kim Yeon-kyung, used rubber bands to warm up before the game.

Kim Yeon-kyung has undergone knee surgery three times since her professional debut. Due to the nature of volleyball, a sport that involves repeated jumping and landing on a hard floor, knee injuries are the most common injury among volleyball players. If you suddenly change direction while your knees are bent, your knees may be crushed and twisted, easily rupturing the cartilage plate. Therefore, in the case of veterans with surgery experience like Kim Yeon-kyung, injuries can only be prevented by paying a lot of attention to regular knee strength exercises.
Kim Yeon-kyung’s stretching partner was Yelena. Taking her rubber band out of her bag, Kim fastened it to Yelena’s right knee and then began strengthening her left knee. Yelena was seen strengthening her right arm with her left leg and helping Kim Yeon-kyung exercise with her right leg. Afterwards, Kim Yeon-kyung, like her Yelena, took another rubber band and put it on both of her hands to add strength to her upper body.

Meanwhile, the match between Hyundai Engineering & Construction and Heungkuk Life Insurance in the ‘Dodram 2023-2024 V-League’ women’s division held at Suwon Gymnasium in Gyeonggi-do on the 18th attracted a lot of attention as a confrontation between the winning candidates. Last season, both teams were tied with 3 wins and 3 losses, and this season was the same. As expected, both teams fought fiercely and kept the match intense until the 5th set.
Heungkuk Life Insurance came from behind to win with a set score of 3-2 (15-25, 25-12, 25-21, 21-25, 15-12), with Kim Yeon-kyung leading the team with 23 points and Yelena with 22 points. In particular, Kim Yeon-kyung showed her incredible concentration in the second half of the game, scoring 8 points in the 4th set and 5 points in the 5th set. The reason 35-year-old veteran Kim Yeon-kyung was able to hit the spikes without getting tired until the second half of the game was because she was good at her physical training.
Kim Yeon-kyung’s Heungkuk Life Insurance recorded two consecutive wins (5 points) following the opening day. Heungkuk Life Insurance, which unfortunately missed out on the championship last season due to a reverse sweep loss, got off to a fresh start with the goal of winning this season.
