Free from the Trap
Due to the outbreak of Coronavirus, all social activities and programs are suspended. Through phone contacts and consolation, we found that people were afraid to go outside due to the worry of community infection. They were trapped at home, physical & mental health were deteriorating. How can we breakthrough the physical distance and relieve from difficulties and boredom?
A quarter past 3 - Sport Online
We started up a Facebook LIVE online channel to promote physical exercise at home. The channel is very successful that the golden-aged love to join. The sports coaches and social workers collaborate together, leading stretching and muscle trainings 2 days a week through live webcasts. In such digital channel, they can interact with coaches and other playmates directly, building up a sense of belonging as a group of exercise lovers, and thus, develop the habit of regular exercise at home. Social networks are reconnected. It’s so amazing!

Startup 150 - Continuous exercise is a way
To keep healthy in the coronavirus pandemic, people realize that enhance immunity is more important than wearing masks. According to WHO guidelines, exercising 150 minutes a week can reduce the average risk of death by 31%. Everyone actually know that exercise is a “good medicine”, but their motivation to start is short. Even their physical functions are declining, their exercise habits are weak. It’s because they lack professional guidance, health care awareness and sports space.
With the support of the Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust, the “Jockey Club Place for Healthy Ageing – Healthy Union” project was launched by Evangelical Lutheran Church Social Service in October 2019. By making good use of the idled space, regular exercise classes and varies activities are organised for the aged over 50 in a youth integrated centre and a church at daytime. The Healthy Union Hotspots are located in Tai Po, Tai Wo and Sham Shui Po respectively. And we aim at building up a healthy lifestyle and developing regular exercise habits.
What is “Startup 150”? We encourage participants to commit 150 minutes every week, that is to do 75 minutes stretching exercises with coach guidance and to finish another 75 minutes muscle exercises with video instruction. Gratefully, we collaborate with Hong Kong Baptist University to tailor-made muscle training videos for the Golden-Aged also.
Keep Online Networking - exploring new service model
Actual courses and activities will soon be back as the epidemic settled. However, we can foresee the future changes of communication and life patterns due varies uncertainties that are caused by either epidemic or social unrest. New service model must be prepared. So, we would continue the Facebook LIVE Sport Online every Friday morning. Interactive dialogues will be encouraged and movement demonstrations will be conducted with themes. Let’s join our Sport Online! Don’t miss the joyful moment!

【被困中不被困】
疫情期間社交及活動暫停，我們只能透過電話與參加者保持聯繫慰問近況；同時也發現人們因擔心社區感染而不敢外出，長期困在家中開始影響著身心健康。引發起我們反思應如何打破實體距離上的限制，讓「被困」在家中的人得以「解困」。
「三點三●運動直播」Facebook LIVE是我們因疫情推出的網絡頻道，抗疫期間備受金齡人士(50歲或以上人士)歡迎。由運動教練及社工透過網絡直播，帶領參加每星期進行兩天的伸展及肌力訓練運動，讓他們安在家中也可以培養持續運動的習慣；同時也希望藉網上參加者間的互動及分享運動後心得，讓人打破隔離重新聯繫。

「啟動150」持續運動是良方
抗疫除了戴上口罩，不少人也意識到提升免疫力是健康的重要關鍵。根據世界衛生組織指引，成年人每週進行150分鐘運動可將平均死亡風險降低31%。人們其實知道運動稱得上是獲得健康的「良藥」，卻缺乏開始的動機。特別是金齡人士步入人身下半場，身體機能開始出現退化，出現毛病的機會日增；卻往往因為缺乏專業指導、場地空間及對運動保健的意識不足，因而未能培養出持續運動習慣。
馬會於2019年10月捐助信義會開展「賽馬會樂齡新天地-- 健康新生營」計劃，透過活用機構轄下青少年服務中心及教會場地閒置時段，於大埔太和及深水埗區內設立「啓動熱點」提供恆常運動班組及多元化活動，協助有意建立健康生活模式的50歲以上人士及社區人士，培養持續運動習慣。
此外，計劃重點推廣「啟動150」的概念，參加者可以報名參與75分鐘由專業導師帶領的伸展課堂，並回家跟動作示範短片完成75分鐘的肌力訓練，藉此達到每週運動150分鐘的目標。我們亦與香港浸會大學體育系師生合作，為金齡人士設計肌力訓練運動。
保持網絡, 連繫新模式
或許實體課即將恢復，但可預視將來因疫情而引發生活模式變化，並充斥種種的不確定性，驅使我們思考如何迎向新服務模式。本計劃在六月開始，計劃將於周五早上繼續提供Facebook LIVE運動直播，並將更詳細地以「主題式」解答及示範動作，與大眾的健康繼續保持連線。 如對以上運動直播有興趣，切勿錯過呢!
