REASONS FOR PROJECT IMPLEMENTATION
According to VietNamNet, in Vietnam, only about one-seventh of people exercise more than 30 minutes a day. The lack of physical activity and inadequate nutrition have led to:
The number of people with hypertension in Vietnam has increased more than 1.5 times in the past five years.
The percentage of Vietnamese people who are overweight and obese is nearly 16%.
The percentage of adults who are or have a cardiovascular risk is nearly 13%.
The number of people with diabetes has increased by more than 200% within 10 years.
PURPOSE
Recognizing the ongoing situation, JCI East Saigon decided to launch the project – Blue Running.
With the desire to create an environment for members to exercise periodically, this year Blue Running will promote and develop more with activities that strongly affect each participant's habits.
In addition, the deep goal of the project is also desired through activities in the project, spreading the sense of self-training in the community through simple activities, but bringing many great benefits.
In 2021, JCI East Saigon Running Project is scheduled to hold focused jogging festivals. At the same time, Blue Running will also create a daily self-running movement for participants, managed schedules through technology.
