'Mother-child' Program 2003
|
|
Nineteen pairs of subjects (mother and child) were recruited while 7 briefing sessions were held between 5 February and 15 February 2003.
This is a home-based exercise program with the object to improve women's awareness of their own health status and increase their motivation in exercise. At the same time, by participating with their children (age between 5-10), hopefully, it will improve their mother child relationship. A series of seminar was held to educate the mother and their children in exercise and workshops in using fit-balls and thera-bands were conducted. Equipment such as thera-bands and fit-balls were purchased and given to the subjects as an incentive for exercise participation. Pedometers were loaned from Hong Kong Baptist University as a equipment for recording the exercise load.
Four Hong Kong Baptist University student helpers were recruited to assist in conducting seminars, workshops and monitoring of the subjects during the 8-week's intervention program. In the end, 18 pairs of subjects were given a certificate of participation.
