Prof. Hector Tsang, Associate Director of the Mental Health Research Centre, Chair Professor and Head of the Department of Rehabilitation Sciences, was featured on two RTHK TV programmes on 24 May sharing how to maintain healthy lifestyle under the COVID-19 pandemic.
The first programme was “Healthpedia”, in which he introduced how mind-body exercises, like Eight Brocades (八段錦) and “Rehab 8 Forms” designed by a PolyU research team led by Prof. Amy Fu, Associate Head of the Department of Rehabilitation Sciences, could help relieve long COVID symptoms. He reminded that the key to mind-body exercises is that the movement, breath and mind should be tied in, and one’s fitness could be improved in six to eight weeks with 10 minutes exercise a day and four to five days a week.

The second programme was “Anti-pandemic News Express”. In this programme, Prof. Tsang gave tips on how to achieve work-life balance while working from home. He pointed out that working from home may cause uncertainties and hence anxiety. He encouraged the public could strike a better work-life balance by doing stretching exercises or reading, and being well-coordinated with superiors and family members.
Prof. Tsang also reminded that adaptation is needed when going back to office as people may have already gotten used to working from home.
