“Elderly Sports Day”Motivated the Senior Citizens to Enjoy Exercise

The 2019 Macao Elderly Sports Day, which was jointly organized by the Sports Bureau and Macao Elderly Sports General Association and undertaken by the General Union of Neighbourhood Associations of Macau, the Women's General Association of Macau and the Senior Academy of the Macao Polytechnic Institute, took place in the morning on September 8 at Tap Seac Multisport Pavilion, attracting around 2000 participants who enjoyed exercise together.

The hosts of this event hope that through the Sports Day, the message“Let's Exercise for Our Health”can be promoted to encourage the elderly to actively engage in the physical exercise which is also good for their mental health. It helped them to understand the importance of exercise to physical health and develop their right perception about exercise, so that exercise can be an integral part in the elderly's life and finally they can cultivate the health lifestyle which involves “lifelong exercise”.
