It's beaten by many involved with physical training (6)
I believe the answer is:
tympan
'training' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't see how they can define each other.
I cannot understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
