Physical Activity Prescription Organization

   Learning under high pressure as well as the appearance of various types of high-tech entertainment leads to the fact that many Vietnamese students, especially medical students have less time for physical activities such as running, cycling, soccer… It can be the origin of many health problems and effects the learning quality. For that reason, our group (FSH-PA) organized an activity called “Saturday cycling” in order to stimulate the FSH members to be more physically active.

   Starting from March of 2014, the activity were held every Saturday. We chose West Lake as a practice place because of its beautiful scenery and space which are ideal for doing physical exercises. Despite of getting early and sometimes bad weather, we were still very excited of practicing. Each session lasted for one hour. Though being tired after riding 20 km around West lake, we felt so comfortable after cycling. After training, we gathered together for talking, discussing about the practice, physical activity prescription and further plan. Through 4 sessions of training, the habit of practicing seemed to be created among FSH members. Moreover, each member planned his/her own schedule for practicing such as going to GYM, running, swimming… and achieved positive fitness and mental results. The willpower and determination to complete the objectives were strengthen after traning.

   We know clearly that when being the member of the FSH-PA group, we must be the most physically active, have shape body, full of energy, enthusiasm and excitement. This is the only way to attract effectively the attention of people about the activity of our group in particular and  physical activity movement in general around and encourage them to join.

   In the future, the group will broaden the type of exercise such as jogging, swimming ..., and organize activities for community to attract more people to join in further training activities. Stay tuned with our next event!
