Talking about the slogan of “everyone can enjoy health” in the conference, Deng Yaping believed that when it comes to health, it should be better to get health through sports, and more hope to reduce the occurrence of later diseases through sports.
Xinhua News Agency, Qingdao, June 12 (Reporter Wu Shuguang) at the Boao Forum for Asia global health forum on December 12, deng Yaping, the Grand Slam winner of Chinese women’s table tennis, participated in one of the sub-forums as the only sports person. She said: “Only by ensuring the Sports Space Can everyone be healthy.”
The theme of this sub-forum is “health integration into all policies-Risk Factors of chronic non-communicable diseases”. Talking about the slogan of “everyone can enjoy health” in the conference, Deng Yaping believed that when it comes to health, it should be better to get health through sports, and more hope to reduce the occurrence of later diseases through sports.
In Deng Yaping’s view, the core of “developing sports and strengthening people’s physique” is to make us live long, happy and live well. Sports is a way to make people healthier, physically and mentally healthier, and to get health more actively. However, the main problem faced by people participating in sports is the lack of sports venues.
The “Tenth Five-Year Plan” for sports development proposes that the per capita area of sports venues should reach 1.8 square meters by 2020. Taking Zhengzhou as an example, Deng Yaping said that the current statistical data of 10 million people in such a provincial capital city is that each person has 1.52 square meters of sports venues, but half of these sports spaces are in schools, there are also some in the government compound, which is generally not open to the public. The actual per capita site situation is still far from the target. “Where to exercise without the site” is a very important pain point.
“A ladder should be formed, that is, sports space, sports population, sports habits, sports consumption, and finally get health through sports.” Deng Yaping also suggested that exercise prescriptions should be included in health insurance so that more people can enjoy exercise guidance at a lower cost. In addition, the transformation of many very famous athletes and coaches is very difficult, and it is necessary to build a platform to teach public professional, safe and scientific training methods.
