Gyeongnam Changwon Facilities Corporation visited a naval unit to support soldiers' physical fitness management and health promotion, receiving positive responses.

'National Fitness 100' is a sports welfare service where the government-designated authorized institutions (such as fitness certification centers) scientifically measure and evaluate physical fitness status and provide exercise counseling and prescriptions.

The corporation deployed 12 professionals, including fitness assessors and exercise prescribers from the fitness certification center, as well as staff from affiliated sports facilities, to conduct physical fitness measurements on eight items such as body composition analysis, cardiopulmonary endurance, muscular endurance, and flexibility for the soldiers.

In particular, after scientifically evaluating individuals' physical characteristics and health conditions following the fitness assessment, the program received high praise from soldiers by guiding appropriate exercises through customized prescriptions.

Colonel An Geon-yeong (Jin), the personnel officer who introduced the program, said, "Since the strong physical fitness of soldiers is the driving force of national defense, I will consistently practice the exercise methods prescribed through this program to maintain the robust fitness suitable for submarine crew members."

Due to the high response from soldiers, the corporation plans to operate the program again in the second half of the year for submarine crew members in consultation with the Navy Submarine Command.
