"Often in the gym, why is the weight loss effect not obvious?" "I have high blood pressure, how to exercise scientifically?" "If your child doesn't grow up, what sports can you get him to participate in?" With the improvement of citizens' awareness of fitness, there are more and more question marks in sports, and it is difficult to distinguish between true and false information when seeking answers on the Internet. Let the sunshine of science shine into the fitness circle. On the 17th, Shanghai's 2021 "Science and Technology Innovation Action Plan" science popularization project - "Scientific Fitness Gas Station" series of science popularization activities and "I do practical things for the masses" project was officially launched.
"Scientific Fitness Gas Station" is a comprehensive science popularization platform founded by Shanghai Sports Science Research Institute (Shanghai Anti-Doping Center) and Shanghai Sports Science Society, which integrates public accounts, websites, series of popular science courses and science popularization activities. Relying on the lecturer group composed of experts and scholars in Shanghai universities and professional fields, the "Scientific Fitness Gas Station" series of science popularization activities will spread professional and authoritative scientific fitness and health knowledge to a wider range of people, and talk about the scientific fitness science that the people can understand, learn and use.
At the launching ceremony, the "Scientific Fitness Gas Station" lecturer group was established simultaneously. The lecturer group is composed of 32 experts and scholars from the Shanghai Institute of Sport Science (Shanghai Anti-Doping Center), Shanghai Municipal Physical Fitness Monitoring and Guidance Center, Shanghai University of Sport, Shanghai Normal University and other authoritative units in many fields, gathering talents from sports medicine, physiology, biomechanics, nutrition and other related disciplines in the field of Sports Science in Shanghai to comprehensively guide citizens to eat healthily, practice scientifically, prevent chronic diseases, and treat diseases.
It is reported that the "scientific fitness gas station" series of science popularization activities will successively carry out 8 + N expert lectures, 3 offline interactive events and 1 online competition in the city, and create a scientific fitness atmosphere of "science popularization every month and everyone enjoys science popularization" through a series of scientific and authoritative science popularization activities.
Wang Chen, deputy director of the Shanghai Institute of Sport Science (Shanghai Anti-Doping Center), told reporters that the content of the series of popular science lectures covers scientific fitness theoretical knowledge, scientific exercise methods, exercise reasonable diet, exercise and sleep, exercise and psychology, chronic disease exercise therapy and other aspects, and the crowd covers infants, children, adolescents, professionals, and the elderly in the community. The lecture will adopt the method of "you order me to send", walk into enterprises and institutions, social groups, communities, etc., and can also tailor scientific fitness science courses according to needs.
On the day of the launching ceremony, Liu Xin, a researcher at the Shanghai Institute of Sport Sciences (Shanghai Anti-Doping Center), gave the first special lecture with the theme of "Life lies in sports, and sports also have science". Liu Xin started from the physical changes brought about by exercise, and then talked about the positive role of exercise in promoting health and preventing chronic diseases through exercise, and finally talked about exercise prescriptions based on scientific physique assessment, which was easy to understand and simple to explain to enhance the public's understanding of exercise science and obtain practical exercise advice.
It is worth mentioning that this lecture combines the practice of recess sports on the basis of traditional theoretical teaching. Ma Liang, a first-level referee and coach of the national dance movement, taught everyone how to see the stitches and needles for scientific sports in the new trend form of "square dance can still be danced like this".
The 2019 Shanghai National Fitness Development Report (referred to as the "300 Index") shows that the fitness literacy score of citizens aged 50 and above is significantly lower than that of citizens under 50 years old. Compared with 2018, shanghai citizens' sports intervention scores have grown the fastest but are still low, and citizens' understanding and mastery of relevant knowledge still need to be improved. The "Scientific Fitness Gas Station" series of science popularization activities will improve the public's awareness of scientific fitness and healthy lifestyle knowledge, thereby improving the participation rate and fitness literacy of citizens in physical exercise, promoting the health of the whole people with national fitness, and helping the construction of a vibrant city of "everyone exercising and everyone being healthy".
