Leveraging on our successful Weight Loss Programme, Changi Sports Medicine Centre (CSMC) introduces the “ACTIVE-8” Programme for people with chronic diseases with an aim to alleviate their conditions.
The “ACTIVE-8” Programme targets the following eight conditions:
1. Diabetes
2. High Blood Pressure
3. High Cholesterol or Hyperlipidaemia
4. Impaired Glucose Tolerance (Pre-diabetes)
5. Metabolic Syndrome
6. Obesity
7. Fatty Liver
8. Obstructive Sleep Apnoea (OSA)
What does the programme entail?
“ACTIVE-8” adopts a similar 6-month structure as our Weight Loss Programme. Diet and exercise advice is specifically tailored to target individual’s needs and medical conditions. The programme also includes exercise sessions guided by sports trainers in our fully equipped gymnasium. At the end of the programme, blood tests will be conducted on the patients to assess the improvements made.
Why the need for “ACTIVE-8”?
Many medical conditions such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes and obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) are closely linked to being overweight. Exercise has proven to be an effective treatment for chronic diseases and is also recommended by the Ministry of Health (MOH) and the American College of Sports Medicine. Even if patients do not lose weight, their conditions will still improve with exercise.
Who is it for?
“ACTIVE-8” is suitable for patients who have been diagnosed with one or more of the above-mentioned eight conditions. In addition, they must be able to complete a minimum of 15 minutes of continuous walking and are motivated to improve their health.
