Sports Health Empowerment Course for Primary Healthcare Professionals
Equipping Frontline Professionals with Exercise Skills for Health and Wellbeing
With the support of the Division of Kinesiology of our School, HKUMed Sports Health recently hosted a “Sports Health Empowerment Course for Primary Healthcare Professionals”. Participants from various District Health Centres, including nurses, physiotherapists, and occupational therapists, gained valuable skills in promoting physical activity and exercise.
The course aims to provide healthcare professionals with a broad understanding of the physiological responses and adaptations to exercise, as well as the crucial role of physical activity in the prevention, treatment, and rehabilitation of major chronic diseases. It also seeks to empower them to provide physical activity counselling or prescribe exercise for health promotion.
The event received excellent feedback, and we are proud to continue supporting initiatives that empower primary healthcare professionals to incorporate sports health into their practice, ultimately improving health outcomes across our communities.
