Academic Association promotes screenings on three campuses

The initiative also has the support of the Portuguese Institute of Sport and Youth

The Sports Office of the Academic Association of the University of Algarve (GDAAUALG) will promote, from 2 to 11 April, screenings and counseling initiatives on physical activity and nutrition.

The Penha Campus is the first to receive the “Physical Activity+Nutrition=Well-Being” action on the 2nd and 3rd of April. In Portimão it will be, in turn, on the 9th. Finally, the Gambelas Campus will stage this initiative on the 10th and 11th of April. The time will be, for the three campuses, from 10:30 am to 16:30 pm.

Screenings will be blood glucose, total cholesterol, blood pressure, HIV and vision.

The action also proposes advice on the beginning or maintenance of regular physical activity and body assessment, analyzing parameters such as weight, percentage of fat, lean mass and water in the body, caloric expenditure at rest and metabolic age.

There will also be nutritional and sexual and reproductive health counseling.

This initiative also has the support of the Portuguese Institute of Sport and Youth, under the “Take Care” program and is part of the set of activities to be promoted within the scope of the Rectory's strategy for a Healthy UAlg+, reinforcing the importance of prevention and promotion of active and healthy lifestyle habits.
