Abstract

Background: Good health is a pivotal aspect of daily life that contributes to social development. Physical activity is a vital component of a healthy lifestyle. Health promotion enables individuals to increase their control and improve their health, and health programs promote physical activity to improve health. Objectives: This study aims to introduce the Japanese health education guidelines according to the requirements of the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 9001-certified health education system in the Cebu region of the Philippines and aims to improve the health of the participants. Methods: A 12-month health program was implemented in Cebu City, and 43 participants were recruited, aged 35.0 ± 9.9 years (mean ± SD), including 22 men aged 35.6 ± 7.9 years and 21 women aged 34.3 ± 7.9 years. The effects of the health program and physical activity were assessed using brain function tests and blood chemistry profiles before and after the program. Results: The average number of total daily steps taken by the 43 participants was 6,052. The weight and eyes-open single-leg stance for balance significantly improved. However, no significant differences were observed in the other physical fitness parameters, blood pressure, and brain function values. Conclusions: This health education is characterized by a mechanism that enables the setting of the next goal based on these evaluations and how to improve health. The participants have to be motivated to aim for a 7,000 daily step goal. Therefore, the participants and the staff involved in health education should build a relationship of trust and a deep bond, and the exercise continuation rate may increase, leading to a higher quality of life.
菲律宾宿务成年工人通过日本健康教育养成运动习惯的尝试报告
背景:健康是日常生活的一个重要方面,有助于社会发展。体育活动是健康生活方式的重要组成部分。促进健康可以增强个人的控制力并改善其健康状况,而健康计划则通过促进体育活动来改善健康状况。研究目的本研究旨在根据国际标准化组织 (ISO) 9001 认证的健康教育体系的要求,在菲律宾宿务地区引入日本健康教育指南,以改善参与者的健康状况。方法:在宿务市实施了一项为期 12 个月的健康计划,共招募了 43 名参与者,年龄为(35.0 ± 9.9)岁(平均 ± SD),其中男性 22 人,年龄为(35.6 ± 7.9)岁;女性 21 人,年龄为(34.3 ± 7.9)岁。健康计划和体育锻炼的效果通过计划前后的脑功能测试和血液生化指标进行评估。结果显示43 名参与者的平均每日总步数为 6,052 步。体重和睁眼单腿站立平衡能力明显提高。然而,在其他体能参数、血压和脑功能值方面没有观察到明显差异。结论:这种健康教育的特点是建立了一种机制,能够根据这些评估和如何改善健康状况来设定下一个目标。参与者必须有动力实现每天 7 000 步的目标。因此,参与者和参与健康教育的工作人员应建立信任关系和深厚的感情,这样才能提高运动的持续率,从而提高生活质量。
