World Heart Day | From the heart of Iași for a heart that beats healthily every day
Annually, on September 29th, the World Heart Day is celebrated, which is why we joined the events that took place on this day in the garden surrounding the Palace of Culture in Iași, as well as in the Amphitheater in Palas Garden. This global initiative aims to improve the health of the population, raise awareness about the importance of cardiovascular health, and… because we do everything with heart!
On the occasion of this day, several events were organized to draw attention to cardiovascular risk factors and the importance of physical activity for maintaining a healthy lifestyle:
🚶♂️ “Antibiotice a+ Evaluation of the cardio-respiratory system through a 1.6 km brisk walking test”, an educational-sporting event involving walking a 1.6 km route, after which participants received an indicator of their health status and cardio-respiratory capacity by measuring their heart rate and calculating VO2 max, a fitness level indicator.
🚴♂️ “PRAXIS Time Trial Cycling – Circuit”, a road cycling competition aimed at promoting cycling and a healthy lifestyle as a physical activity to prevent cardiovascular diseases.
🩺 “Preventis – Heart for All”, a medical-sporting educational event that included presentations and interactive discussions about the benefits of physical activity for health, between the audience and renowned lecturers from Iași’s medical field and the Faculty of Physical Education and Sport.
Our company chose to participate in the sports and medical-educational events dedicated to this day, both as a partner and as an active participant through our colleagues who registered, alongside the people of Iași, for the events organized in front of the Palace of Culture. Alongside the people of Iași, 50 of our employees participated in these events on the occasion of World Heart Day. The rain did not discourage them from demonstrating that they are with all their hearts supporting the health of their fellow citizens, by setting an example.
The medical-sporting educational event addressed cardiovascular risk factors and the importance of physical activity for a healthy lifestyle. The presentations were held by renowned lecturers from Iași’s medical field, specializing in cardiology, sports medicine, endocrinology, geriatrics, and gerontology, who were joined by specialists from the Faculty of Physical Education and Sport Iași.
