Objectives
The objective of the research laboratory is to advance the knowledge and practice of exercise prescription and physical fitness to health and performance through quality research, so as to enhance the quality of life of human beings. Research focus lies in physical fitness (both health-related and performance-related) and physical activity investigations. Recent projects include Exercise-is-Medicine: promoting health of diabetes and hypertension patients through community exercise programme; Tai-chi and walking for mental health via EEG analysis; Taichi and walking for cardiovascular health and metabolic rate; Virtual Trainer: improving health through wearable technology, IT, and mobile technology; Asia-fit Study: comparison of fitness, obesity, and physical activity between 8 metropolitan cities in Asia; Yijinbang (易筋棒) exercise for improving shoulder pain; Evaluation of physical fitness and physical activity patterns of school students (primary & secondary); Development of physical fitness screening tests for pre-employment recruitment for Disciplinary Departments (Customs & Excise; Immigration; Correction Services, & Police); Community Fitness Evaluation and Sports-for-All Study on Sports Participation and Patterns of Hong Kong citizens supported by the Leisure and Cultural Service Department, etc.
