Sport-Health Advisory Station 2015

In order to continue the promotion and popularisation of Sport for All, disseminate information about sports activities among each class and the community, and encourage residents to actively participate in sports activities and hence improve their physical condition, Macao Sport Development Board has been organising the Sport-Health Advisory Station every Sunday since 2009 at various leisure facilities and public venues, at which many residents can spontaneously exercise. The warmly received services include imparting proper ways of exercising, providing physical fitness check-ups, and offering related sports and health consultation services to residents. The series of activities has enticed many athletes and the public at large.

During the event, instructors of Sport for All Fitness and Recreational Classes demonstrate a series of sports activities, including dancesport, Macao gymnastics series, Baduanjin, dynamic gymnastics, gymnastic Qigong, Taijiquan, softball, and so on. By inviting athletes to work out with residents, the Board achieves the goal of enabling residents to learn and experience various sports activities, imparting the proper way to exercise, sharing the fun of sports activities and encouraging them to develop the healthy habit of regular exercise, thus enhancing their immune system. In addition, residents enjoy free physical fitness check-ups conducted by medical professionals of the Sports Medical Centre of the Macao Sport Development Board.Physical conditions like blood pressure, heart rate and weight of participating residents are recorded. Professional advice on sports plans provided and health information is provided to help them choose appropriate fitness activities and set the adequate amount of exercise accordingly. In addition, the dietary habits of the participants are reviewed for further advice. Thus, participants are paying more attention to improving their health and exercise in a safer and more effective manner through the activities whilst enhancing their physical wellbeing.

The activities of the Sport-Health Advisory Station held at various venues in Macao provide sports and health consultation services to residents, to publicise and promote Sport for All Fitness and Recreational Classes and sports activities for residents from all walks of life. These exercises motivate and encourage them to love and play sports in their leisure time, so that they can enhance their physical wellbeing and health condition as well as develop the healthy habit of regular exercise.
