PolyU Press has published a new title, Comprehensive Exercise Guide for All, with the aim of promoting basic knowledge about exercising and providing appropriate exercise suggestions for citizens with different health needs.

At the book launch, Prof. Amy Fu, Peter Hung Professor in Pain Management, and Associate Head and Professor of the PolyU Department of Rehabilitation Sciences, the book editor and one of the contributors of the book, Dr Shirley Ngai, Associate Professor of the Department of Rehabilitation Sciences, together with Nick Yip, an elite PolyU triathlon student-athlete, shared their knowledge and experience about exercising.

Prof. Fu hopes the book can help readers understand how to improve their personal health and raise their exercise performance through appropriate training and changes in personal habits. She also hopes to transfer and popularise the University’s research efforts, promoting “target-oriented” exercises to improve public health.

The publication was sponsored by Shun Hing Education and Charity Fund, and was co-edited by Prof. Fu and Prof. Gabriel Ng, former Chair Professor and Head of the Department of Rehabilitation Sciences. Many other experts from the Department of Rehabilitation Sciences also contributed to the book.
