When someone calls you the next chairperson, he may not be referring to you as being the top honcho in a company or organization. The reference may be something like you’re being “horizontally challenged.”
WHEN someone calls you the next chairperson, he may not be referring to you as being the top honcho in a company or organization. The reference may be something like you’re being “horizontally challenged.”Dr. Enrique Tayag, Undersecretary of the Department of Health , said that during the almost three-year Covid-19 pandemic and the various states of lockdown, much has indeed changed, particularly in the physical activity and sedentary behaviors of people.
For senior citizens, however, Dr. Tayag said that just because they are old does not mean they shouldn’t move anymore. The World Health Organization, he said, published evidence-based recommendations for older adults to improve health through at least 150 minutes of moderate intensity aerobic physical activity or at least 75 minutes of vigorous intensity aerobic physical activity per week.
But are people really safe if they choose to be active? He reiterated that doing nothing is still not an option but people should also realize that getting into physical activities in whatever form or manner should also take into consideration the place, whether outdoor or indoor venue, both of which have different avenues of risks.
Dr. Tayag also mentioned a risk assessment that became the basis for all these recommendations, such as the risk analysis done for the English Premier League football that was published so that everyone is guided about specific risks.
