On July 27, the Train-the-Trainer course titled “Enhancing Muscle Strength Safely with Proper Techniques”, organized by the Community Medical Team, was successfully held at the Tzu Chi Dialysis Center in Penang. Tailored for volunteer instructors, the course invited a professional fitness coach to deliver both theory and practical training, focusing on resistance training, sarcopenia prevention, and correct technique, boosting volunteers’ ability and confidence to lead exercise sessions for seniors.
Since 2019, the Community Medical Team has promoted wellness programs across local recycling stations and communities, incorporating balance, strength, and posture training to help prevent falls and age-related decline. To expand outreach, the team actively trains volunteers as health promoters.
Assessments revealed noticeable improvements in participants’ balance, strength, and cardiopulmonary health, underscoring the program’s impact. Together, the team and volunteers continue to protect elderly health through preventive care and community support.
