ID launches free fitness checks targeting sarcopenia

The Sports Bureau (ID) recently set up “Sports and Health Consultation Stations” at Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Municipal Park and Flora Garden. The stations will operate daily from 8 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. until Jan. 25. During these times, visitors can receive free physical fitness assessments, measuring height, weight, blood pressure, body fat, grip strength, and reaction time. This month’s focus, according to ID, is sarcopenia, an age-related musculoskeletal disease that causes muscle mass loss and reduced physical performance. On-site screening for sarcopenia will also be available.
