[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Seo Young-seo] Sinan-gun, Jeollanam-do (Governor Park Woo-ryang) announced on the 10th that it has been selected for the National Fitness 100 Fitness Certification Center contest project supported by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and the Korea Sports Promotion Foundation.

The county will receive a total project budget of about 150 million won, including operating expenses for fitness improvement programs and personnel expenses, as well as fitness measurement equipment.

The National Fitness 100 Fitness Certification Center contest project was selected through a process including document screening and on-site inspection committee evaluation after accepting applications from local governments nationwide.

The National Fitness 100 Fitness Certification Center is a nationally certified center that performs fitness management duties to improve the fitness and health of county residents, providing scientific fitness measurement and exercise prescription services for the healthy 100-year life of the residents.

Considering the COVID-19 situation, Sinan-gun plans to temporarily open the National Fitness 100 Fitness Certification Center equipped with various measurement devices at Amtae County Sports Center until July, and operate it at the Sinan County Gymnasium in September after remodeling work is completed. Customized visiting services to schools and welfare facilities will also be operated concurrently.

A Sinan-gun official said, “The importance of health has increased as a social issue due to obesity, the biggest enemy hindering a healthy life, and the increase in the elderly population,” and added, “We will operate the Fitness Certification Center so that many residents can benefit.”
