Get Healthy on “ACTIVE-8”
Changi Sports Medicine Centre introduces “ACTIVE-8” programme for people with chronic diseases
Many medical conditions such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, and obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) are closely linked to being overweight. Exercise has proven to be an effective treatment for chronic diseases, and is also recommended by the Ministry of Health (MOH) and the American College of Sports Medicine. Even if patients do not lose weight, their conditions will still improve with exercise.
