On this day, Candidate Yoon said this, promising to ‘build a senior-friendly health infrastructure’ as the 27th ‘Seok-Yeol’s heartbeat promise’. The National Sports Center plans to expand senior-friendly sports such as table tennis, badminton, and vitality yoga, and prepare anti-aging health promotion programs through cognitive care (dementia prevention) sports such as Go and chess. In addition, while expanding health recovery programs such as physical and psychological treatment, it plans to support indoor and outdoor fitness promotion programs such as the placement of an exercise prescription for the elderly and the use of cutting-edge technologies such as smart exercise equipment.
The government or local governments will also give incentives such as ‘Senior-friendly facility certification’ to sports facilities and leisure space that have introduced senior health promotion and leisure activity programs.
Candidate Yoon said, “In preparation for the entry into an aging society, there is an urgent need for content for health promotion and leisure activities that the elderly can use at all times.” We will look into it and do our best.”
