[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yong-woo] In a reality where people are reluctant to meet others, is there a non-face-to-face health promotion exercise?

Due to social phenomena avoiding face-to-face services amid COVID-19 infection anxiety, the National Health Insurance Service Busan Gyeongnam Regional Headquarters (Director Jang Su-mok) held a contest to discover non-face-to-face exercise methods in daily life by shifting the paradigm of health promotion projects.

The contest was named ‘With-Corona, We-Exercise (Together Apart).’ The UCC video contest to discover daily exercises was held for one month from September 7 to October 6, and the award ceremony to evaluate the results was held on the 4th at the regional headquarters' first-floor auditorium.

‘With-Corona, We-Exercise’ carries the meaning of being physically apart but mentally together to prevent infection risks.

This project is a specialized initiative promoted by the NHIS Busan Gyeongnam Regional Headquarters aimed at discovering exercise methods that anyone can perform for self-health management in daily life.

It was planned to utilize the professional capabilities of instructors from the Healthy 100-Year Exercise Class and actively discover non-face-to-face exercise methods simultaneously.

A total of 52 videos were submitted to this contest, competing in skill. After two rounds of judging involving external experts, a total of 12 winning works were selected, with three videos each in four categories (youth, middle-aged, elderly, and disabled).

The NHIS plans to widely promote the final winning works to related organizations such as schools and senior citizen associations to be used for improving public health.

Director Jang Su-mok said, “I hope the brilliant health exercise UCC video materials challenged in the contest will be used as customized exercise methods suitable for anyone, anywhere in the post-Corona era, and be useful for managing the health of the people.”
