Healthy 8,000 Steps Campaign
健步8,000大行動

計劃介紹 About the scheme

科學數據証實,定期適量的運動對改善身體健康有著莫大的幫助。缺乏運動不但影響個人身心健康,而且拖低整體社會生產力。所以如果人人都注意自己的身體健康,香港就可以變得更美好,不枉動感之都的美譽。

 

你是否有定期運動的習慣?現代都市人生活節奏急促,要騰出時間而且找到合適的場所做運動並不容易。然而其實我們只需要養成每日步行八千步的習慣,保持身心健康原來也殊不困難。

 

關注市民的身心健康,香港醫學會自二零零三年起推廣《每日步行八千步》計劃。悉值奧運盛事,本會聯同衞生署及浸會大學攜手合作,喚起廣大市民對運動與健康的關注。

 

The benefits of regular moderate physical activity were scientifically proven. Lack of adequate exercise for the community would not only affect the physical and mental well-being of individuals, but also adversely affect the productivity of the community.

 

Do you think you are having sufficient exercise? It might sometimes be difficult for busy people like us to "squeeze" the time and find a suitable place for physical activity. Well, one thing you might not be aware of, is that all we have to do is to walk 8,000 steps or more per day, and that is all it takes for a healthier and happier life.

 

With the aim of arousing public awareness of the importance of daily exercise to one's physical and mental health, the Hong Kong Medical Association initiated the "Healthy 8,000 Steps Campaign" in 2003. In this Olympic Year, the Association worked together with the Department of Health and the Hong Kong Baptist University to remind the general public to live an active life.

 

如何計算每日步行數量 Ways to count the number of steps

一般會使用計步器來量度。現時部份智能手提電話和手錶都有計步功能。

 

記錄步行時間是另外一個方法。一般成年人的平均步行速度為每分鐘一百二十步。所以,午飯後步行半小時已可累積約三千六百步。

 

此外,你亦可以計算路程的長度。大家可能沒有察覺到,我們乘搭港鐵時,由鐵路站入口步行至月台,平均要步行二百六十步。香港醫學會與港鐵亦合作計算出多條步行路線的距離和步數,供各位市民參考。

 

The usual way is to use a step counter, or called pedometer. At present, some smart mobile phones and watches have step counting function.

 

Another way is to record the time of walking. The average walking speed of the general public is about 120 steps/minute. Therefore, a 30-minutes walk after lunch would be approximately equal to 3,600 steps.

 

Alternatively, we may count the distance of your route. One may not be aware that it takes an average of 260 steps when walking from the MTR station entrance to the platform. The HKMA and the MTR have identified a number of routes that may help you do the counting.

活動簡介 Introduction

本會推出一項獎勵計劃,特別針對較少做運動的上班一族。誠意邀請各公司/機構參與推動員工多作步行,建立健康的生活模式。參與公司/機構需要協助核實及記錄計劃期間,連續四星期內,每週最少有五天能做到最少步行八千步的員工。所有參與之公司/機構會獲頒發獎狀,而參與人數最高參與率最高之公司/機構更有特別獎勵。

 

We had launched an award scheme which specifically targets at the physically less active population - office-workers. We would like to mobilize companies to encourage staff to lead a healthier lifestyle by means of frequent walking. Companies were required to verify and record all staff who had walked at least 8,000 steps a day, at least 5 days a week and for at least four consecutive weeks. Awards were given to those companies with the highest number of staff or the highest percentage of staff fulfilling the said criteria.
