WORLD OF CHAMPIONS Gym – Al Zafarana Building, 24 St, Abu Hail, Dubai.

DATES:

November 19, 20 and 21, 2024

 NOTE:

  • Clinic 2 for Exercise Specialists is scheduled for January 11 and 12, 2025
  • Clinics 1 AND 2 lead to SPECIALIST IN EXERCISE MEDICINE certification.

The four main NCDs – cancer, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes and chronic respiratory diseases – cause 55% of deaths in the UAE*. There are several other Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs) that are prevalent in the UAE.

This Clinic is the first of the two that comprise the Exercise Medicine (EM) program. It is now globally accepted that Exercise as a medicine offers cost-effective interventions.

They will enable the fitness professionals, physical education teachers, S&C coaches and all those who care about the patients with NCDs to deliver physical activity in the right dosage for preventing and / or managing the diseases. 

EM Triad:

EM will introduce the attendees to the triad that comprises EXERCISE as non-pharmaceutical MEDICINE:

  • Conduct and analyse fitness assessments including ECG, Electronic Strength Test, etc.
  • Prescribe Exercise in right dosage
  • Deliver correct Exercise instruction – not just “train” clients but prevent onset of imminent injuries

If one or two of above is / are absent or inaccurate, “training” Special Populations may be incomplete at best or risky at the worst.

Hosted by GĀYO Fitness Sports Academy, it will be the first such program in the UAE!
