"Learn Your Movement Age, Live Healthy" campaign launched in Muğla
An event was held in the Menteşe district of Muğla within the scope of the "Learn Your Movement Age, Live Healthy" campaign simultaneously launched in 81 provinces by the Ministry of Health.
In the program held at Menteşe Rüya Park Shopping Mall, citizens' physical activity levels were measured with the help of physiotherapists. Participants underwent a balance test on one foot, grip strength measurement with a hand dynamometer, and a 30-second sit-to-stand test during the event.
With the measurements taken, individuals' balance capacity, muscle strength, and functional movement levels were evaluated.
Muğla Provincial Health Director Dr. Eriş Başaran Akça stated that the main goal of the campaign was to raise awareness about physical activity among citizens. Akça emphasized that a sedentary lifestyle lays the groundwork for many health problems such as obesity, hypertension, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and stroke.
