In order to disseminate the concept of ‘Sport for all for better health’ among different sectors of Macao and to encourage all residents to enhance their physical fitness and quality of physical health by actively participating in physical activities, the Macao Sport Development Board has organised the Sports for All Day on a monthly basis in various social communities. In the third quarter of this year, Sport for All Day was held in the Recreational Area in Rua do General Ivens Ferraz in Fai Chi Kei, the Flower City Garden in Rua de Seng Tou in Taipa and the Iao Hon Garden.

    Featuring a series of demonstration performances by instructors and students of Sport for All Gymnastic Classes, the event seeks to enable residents to share the joy of exercising by personally being involved in various sports activities, thereby stimulating their passion and interest in cultivating the habit of sports exercise. In addition, several sports games with prizes were organised at the forgoing venues to heighten the atmosphere of the activities. All activities were welcomed by local residents, who were enthusiastically involved in the activities and created a friendly and cheerful environment. Some 2,700 residents in all participated in these events each month.

    Sport for All Day is conducive to highlighting residents’ awareness and interest in sports exercise and the persistent promotion of sports exercise as part of everyday life to achieve the goal of strengthening physical health.
