Prof. ZHANG Ming, Director of the Research Institute for Sports Science and Technology (RISports), was featured in Sing Tao Daily, introducing a study on “Taichi-Run” by his team. Taichi-Run is an adaptive jogging style, with exercise load starting from a lower speed and heart rate (“Yin” state), followed by a gradual increase to a higher speed and heart rate (“Yang” state), and then returning to the “Yin” state, allowing joggers to maintain a comfortable target heart rate.
Prof. Zhang mentioned that RISports hopes to establish a database of human body data in the long term, using quick scan technology to obtain human characteristics and identify potential health issues for further follow-up. He further stated that the idea of “exercise prescription”, which aims at addressing heath issues through exercise rather than medication, has already been implemented in mainland China and overseas. RISports is now studying the effects of different exercises on human, investigating if appropriate exercise can alleviate chronic diseases, and identifying exercises suitable for prescription.
