There is a clear correlation between doing regular exercise and strengthening of immunity, especially among the elderly. To help raise health consciousness in the community, Chinese YMCA of Hong Kong (“YMCA”) and the AXA Foundation have been joining hands to promote Walking Football since 2018. With the support of the AXA Foundation, the programme has hosted more than 195 games and benefited over 3,000 people in the past two years. YMCA and the AXA Foundation also jointly organised the “AXA Hong Kong- YMCA Walking Football Fun Day” with 1,000 participants who had the chance to experience the fun of walking football. To understand the impact of walking football on players’ physical and mental wellness, YMCA invited a professor from the Sports Science field to study the benefits of walking football on the cardiopulmonary function of people aged 50+. Research results prove that walking football not only improves the immune system and physical balance of the elderly, but also helps them expand their social circle. “To allow people aged 50 or above, and people who suffer from chronic illnesses, to enjoy physical activity without the risk of injury, YMCA introduced walking football from the United Kingdom to Hong Kong in 2015. This emerging sport allows people in their golden years to regain the fun of football, and brings people from different backgrounds and ages together. It also helps participants explore a new interest, and injects them with positive energy. With the full support of the AXA Foundation, we have successfully raised the awareness of this exciting and emerging sport among the general public. Our programme has drawn thousands of participants, both men and women, and the oldest participant is 85 years old. We would like to thank the AXA Foundation and the public for supporting walking football,” said Dr. Bonson Lee Hing Wai, Deputy General Secretary of Chinese YMCA of Hong Kong. “The AXA Foundation has been fully supporting the rollout of this new form of sport – walking football – over the past two years. Our mission is to empower golden agers to live a better life through playing walking football, which has less risk of sustaining injuries than regular football. It is encouraging to see that walking football has increasingly become a popular sport in Hong Kong, and with the commitment of YMCA in promoting it, the general public is getting to know more about the activity. Even more rewarding is that walking football is proven to be able to enhance participants’ physical and mental wellbeing. We sincerely hope that walking football can continue to benefit more people in the future,” said Ms. Andrea Wong, Chief Corporate Responsibility Officer, AXA Hong Kong and Macau. Chinese YMCA of Hong Kong introduced walking football from the United Kingdom to Hong Kong. It is suitable for people aged 50 or above and those suffering from chronic illnesses, and allows them to enjoy the fun of football without running or having physical contact with other players. Walking football has attracted many Hongkongers in their golden years in the last two years.

The study showed that the cardiopulmonary function of the participants improved significantly, and their resting heart rate dropped from 75.7 to 71.5. The walking distance of participants in a 6-minute walking test increased by 19 metres after two months of walking football activity. The study indicated that walking football can help improve the cardiopulmonary endurance of participants, as well as their blood oxygenation capacity. Gain muscle strength and coordination to prevent falls, broaden social circles The study also showed that participants’ lower limb balance in the single-leg stick-stand test with closed eyes has improved significantly – from 6 seconds to 10 seconds. Professor Hui explained that the turning and kicking movements of walking football use one foot only, so practicing walking football can improve balance and lower limb muscle strength. Also, rapid walking during walking football is an aerobic exercise, which can effectively improve cardiopulmonary health and physical flexibility. In other words, walking football can help reduce the likelihood of impaired mobility and falls by the elderly. In addition to physical benefits, walking football can also help older people regain the fun of playing football, explore a new interest and expand their social networks. Golden agers are inevitably concerned about the second half of their life. Before undergoing walking football training, 9.4% of the participants indicated that they were unhappy, but 66.6% of those unhappy participants became much cheerier after just two months of training. This clearly proves that walking football has a profoundly positive impact on golden agers’ mental wellbeing. Football is not only for men, retired woman joins the team Ms. Lam Po Chun, one of the research participants who is a retired teacher, is under long-term medication due to high blood pressure and was advised to exercise regularly. Ms. Lam is passionate about football, so she joined walking football training without hesitation when she heard about it. “My friends said I look happier with a better body shape. I feel healthier and my blood pressure is more stable than before. Walking football is a good social platform as it emphasises team spirit, we always encourage each other when playing the game, and at the same time it increases one’s positive energy,” said Ms. Lam. Another research participant, Mr. Wai Lap Kan, is aged 70 and suffered from airway allergic reaction and insufficient foot muscle strength before practicing walking football. After the training, his muscle strength improved. “My limbs have become stronger and I am thrilled to make so many new like-minded friends. My teammates all come from different backgrounds, and other than practicing walking football, we also go hiking together. I have gained so much from this sport,” said Mr. Wai. Simple exercises at home to boost immunity It is known that an appropriate amount of aerobic exercise can help increase body resistance.

It is moderate in intensity, which also helps improve the immune system to combat COVID-19, and injuries do not occur easily. Mr. Wong Yu Ho, Physiotherapist I of YMCA, has designed a set of simple exercises based on the movements of walking football, allowing everyone to stay active and experience the pleasure of football even at home. 1) Inside and outside dribbling on single foot Hold the back of a chair with one hand to help balance yourself, dribble the football to work on inside and outside with both feet for a minute. Then increase the amplitude of lower limb stretching gradually. Use left foot only to dribble from inside to outside for a minute, then do it with the right foot only. After familiarising yourself with the movement, try to balance without holding the back of the chair, simply dribbling the football with your eyes closed. 2) Juggling on single foot Stand with one foot and hold the back of a chair to help balance yourself, then juggle the football around the opposite foot, alternate your right and left foot. This movement requires a high level of coordination, and you are recommended to try it slowly. There are other basic cardio and balancing exercises: 1) Star excursion Hold the back of a chair with one hand to help balance yourself, use your left foot as support and lower your body, extending your right foot forward to the side and rear position respectively. Do this exercise for five times as one session, then alternate your right and left foot for two to three sessions. Pay attention to the foot that is used for support, as it should be parallel with your hip, knee and ankle. Try to keep the ankle stable and avoid twisting the knee. 2) Squat with transverse movement Hold the back of a chair with both hands to help balance yourself, and imagine you are sitting on a chair to do a sit-down position. Your toes should not go beyond your knees, alternate your right and left foot for eight to ten times as a session, do two to three sessions. Pay attention to the centre of gravity over the feet to avoid falling backwards due to losing the centre of gravity.

  • Chapter 2 Quality City and Quality Life
    Chapter 2 Quality City And Quality Life Preamble The development of Hong Kong into a knowledge-based economy requires talent from around the world, and a quality city life is essential to attracting talent. The concept of “Progressive Development” advocated by the Chief Executive is to develop a quality city life by striking a balance between economic development and environmental protection and conservation. In the arena of environmental protection, we launched a basket of new initiatives in areas such as air quality improvement, waste management and promoting a low-carbon economy and lifestyle. Environmental protection is a long-term and continuing commitment. The Government will continue to promote regional co-operation to improve air quality within the region, and to develop the PRD Region into a green and quality living area. Global warming is an international concern. We will meet the challenge of climate change with early planning. In particular, we will enhance energy effi ciency and promote a low carbon economy — an economy based on low energy consumption and low pollution. Moreover, we will strengthen our cultural software, develop our audience base, and support more small and medium arts groups to tie in with the development of the West Kowloon Cultural District, which is proceeding as planned. 28 Quality City And Quality Life We will also continue our efforts to beautify the shoreline of Victoria Harbour by turning it into a landmark to be enjoyed by locals and visitors alike. 29 Quality City And Quality Life New Initiatives We will: • Oversee the progressive launch of digital audio broadcasting services by three commercial licensees and Radio Television Hong Kong as from late 2011/early 2012.

  • Policy Agenda
    Chapter 7 Youth, Sport, Arts and Culture Preamble Young people are precious assets of our society and our future. Our youth development policy will focus on creating opportunities for them and helping them to realise their potential. We will continue to partner with relevant NGOs to foster a culture of multi-faceted excellence and offer multiple avenues for young people to pursue their studies, career and interests. Engaging the Commission on Youth, uniformed groups and NGOs, we aim to enhance our networking with young people, promote positive values amongst them and facilitate their overall development. The Government’s policy for developing sport in Hong Kong is threefold - to promote sport in the community, to support elite sport, and to maintain Hong Kong as a centre for major international sports events. Underlying these objectives is the view that participation in sport contributes significantly to good physical and psychological health, and provides a basis for social interaction and a sense of belonging to the community. On culture and the arts, our vision is to develop Hong Kong into an international cultural metropolis with a distinct identity grounded in Chinese traditions and enriched by different cultures. We are providing opportunities for wide participation in culture and the arts; offering opportunities for those with potentials to develop artistic 113 talents; supporting the preservation and promotion of our traditional cultures (including intangible cultural heritage) while encouraging artistic creation and innovation; and developing Hong Kong into a prominent hub of cultural exchanges.

Background 2. In the information paper No. CB(2)67/10-11(01) submitted to the Legislative Council Panel on Home Affairs on 20 October 2010, we elaborated on the three policy directions for the promotion of sports development, namely, to develop a strong sporting culture in the community, to develop sport at the elite level and to raise Hong Kong’s profile as a centre for international sports events. 3. To support Hong Kong athletes so that they can perform at a high level in international competitions is an important element of our policy for promoting the sustainable development of elite sport. In recent years, Hong Kong athletes have achieved outstanding results in major international events, including the 2010 Guangzhou Asian Games and Asian Para Games. Nurturing elite athletes 4. It takes time to train up outstanding athletes. There are many factors behind every good result achieved in international competitions: the continuous hard work of the athletes, the assistance and support provided by other parties concerned, and the availability of a well integrated support system. The Government works with stakeholders such as the Hong Kong Sports Institute (HKSI), the Sports Federation and Olympic Committee of Hong Kong, China (SF&OC) and “National Sports Associations” (NSAs) to develop elite sport in Hong Kong. The mechanism for elite sports development is outlined in the ensuing paragraphs.
