17 Oct 2024
26 students and teachers from the Bachelor of Science (Hons) in Physiotherapy programme of the S.K. Yee School of Health Sciences of SFU participated in the SMART Fest organised by The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) on 12 and 13 October to promote the importance of regular exercise and healthy lifestyles.
In collaboration with the CUHK Medical Centre Alex Whong Sports Medicine and Rehabilitation Centre, senior lecturers from the S.K. Yee School of Health Sciences led physiotherapy students to conduct body composition analysis and balance test for over 250 participants. Apart from gaining an initial understanding of their muscle and fat ratio, the participants learnt the basic principles of exercise as well as stretching and strengthening exercises to enhance their awareness of self-health management and fall prevention. Teachers and students were grateful for the support of the participants who were very enthusiastic and engaged in the whole process of testing and learning.
