Health is interdependent of each of all aspects of holistic health. Physical fitness equates to improved quality of life among individuals in all aspects; mentally, emotionally, financially, spiritually, etc. Improved physical fitness among individuals equates to, increased productivity both physically and mentally by lowering fatigue levels, eliminating work absenteeism, promoting self actualization and giving a sense of purpose, reducing cost spent on lifestyle related health issues and lowering non-communicable disease burden. This improves work turnover rates and causes an increase in per capita income and consequently in the National Gross Domestic Product thus eliminating poverty. Also, physical fitness increases mental, emotional and spiritual tenacity which enables an individual to keep fighting even in the midst of economic crisis and adversity thus shielding against depression and discouragement resulting from issues such as inflation.

A physically fit individual can wade through the challenges of life and be able to stand. Physical Fitness is described as the ability to carry out daily activities without suffering undue fatigue, have ample energy to enjoy leisure time pursuits and still have reserve energy to respond to emergencies. When a nation has individuals who are physically fit, they are able to engage in multiple streams of income if need be in order to prevent themselves and their loved ones from going hungry. This equally includes those living with medical conditions, injuries and disabilities because physical fitness and wellness involves them learning how to be optimally productive and know how to navigate daily activities efficiently and reserve energy for any leisure pursuits that could be income generating.

Physically fit teachers give quality lessons to their students. Physical fitness affects work output of teachers because the teachers have a greater sense of purpose and often have attained self-actualization which helps in not just book knowledge but also life knowledge. We thus have children graduating from schools with great social skills as well as emotional intelligence in addition to coursework. Further to that, children are taught the importance of looking out for their health from such an early stage which helps with lifestyle diseases prevention and intervention. Also, children are able to understand the place of inclusivity in society. They are able to journey with their fellow students living with disabilities and chronic conditions as well as offer supportive health which cultivates empathy and humanity amongst children from their crucial young stages. Finally, physically fit children are able to grasp more in class consequently leading to improved performance at school.

One fundamental aspect of physical fitness is healthy diets. Learning to eat right is crucial in the prevention of non-communicable diseases.

06.08 Justification

Our service is a new service in the market. Whereas there are many fitness centers and activities that cater for the general population through exercise, there is none that specifically addresses individuals living with medical conditions, injuries and disabilities. We are here to specifically guide patients into embracing physical fitness as part of their treatment journeys. We offer an extension of beyond just enrolling in a general exercise program. We personally walk with patients designing specific and safe exercise programs for them that have longevity and are beneficial for their health. Exercise Physiology is a new technology in the market because traditional treatment has emphasized on just medication and diet in the treatment and rehabilitation of illnesses.

06.09 Analyse compétitive

Gyms - Unlike gyms with just trained fitness instructors, We have qualified exercise scientists who understand the pathophysiology of diseases and how different exercises at different intensities affect an individual's body even with their medical condition, injury or disability thereby providing guidance to fitness instructors on how to handle patients during exercise.

11.05 Menez-vous des actions au sein de votre communauté pour promouvoir le rôle des femmes entrepreneurs ?

Yes, by supporting other upcoming female exercise physiologists in the country. Guiding them through the process of getting practicing licenses and mentoring them on to how to get the right footing in this industry and pursue it without fear. Also, I sub-contract services for my business from other female entrepreneurs in a bid to support their businesses.
