Walking for Health 樂步行

To encourage walking on campus, the University's Campus Development Office and Estates Management Office designed a pedestrian trail which is both scenic and convenient. The trail serves a green option to school buses from commuters where school buses are the primary means of transport on campus.

The Committee on Health Promotion and Protection organized a Launching Ceremony was held on the 16th March 2007. It aimed at introducing new trail to staff and students so as to persist "walking culture" within the University. This programme was highly supported by the top management in the University. The Launching Ceremony were officiated by Pro-Vice Chancellor Prof. Jack Cheng, the Dean of Medical Faculty Prof. T. F. Fok and the esteemed Emeritus Professor of the Community Medicine Prof. S. H. Lee. More than 400 participants including staff and students joined this event which was very encouraging. Various souvenirs were given to all participants including a pedometer, a green T-shirt, bottled water as well as a turning wheel with information between walking and calories. Finally, healthy refreshments were provided at the end point in the New Asia Concourse for all participants.

All feedback from participants were positive and they all realized the importance of keeping themselves physically active. Walking is not only healthy, but also reduces the burden on buses, keeps the air fresh and enables campus members to enjoy the marvelous natural scenery.

WALKING CAMPAIGN PHASE 2

Following the successful debut of Walking Campaign Phase 1, the Phase 2 Walking Campaign has been held again on 2 November 2007, 9:00a.m.. The response was overwhelming with about 600 staff and students joining the walk. Souvenirs such as T-shirt, measuring tape (can measure central obesity) and bottle water were given for registered participants.

Of the four Colleges, Shaw College is furthest away from the train station. Under the pleasant weather, walkers set off from the entrance of the University train station, winding through Chung Chi College and Main Campus, to end at the lecture theatre of Shaw College. Along the way, they passed through some of the most picturesque spots on campus, such as Alumni Path and the Chinese Medicine Garden. The whole walk took about 40 minutes.

中文大學的校園依山而築，面積廣袤，達一百三十四公頃，大學提供的校巴服務，穿梭往來校園各處，師生同人都習慣搭乘。現在大家有多一個選擇了，大學校園發展處和物業管理處經過研究，利用現有建築物和設施的分佈，設計了多條貫通校園的步行捷徑，往來所需時間與搭乘校巴的差不多少，非常方便。

為了推行校園步行文化，健康促進及防護委員會舉辦了「樂步行」活動，給予教職員及學生參加。第一次樂步行開步禮已在二零零七年三月十六日舉行，步行起點在大學火車站出發，終點到達新亞誠明館。起步前由副校長鄭振耀教授致演講辭、然後鄭副校長聯同霍泰輝教授、李紹鴻教授作起步儀式。是次活動得到副校長大力支持，各部門均有職員、教師響應步行活動，連同眾多學生參與，人數多達四百人。

是日參加者獲派發不同類型的紀念品，包括：綠色 T – shirt，計步器，水。另外，行畢全程後，在新亞圓形廣場預備了水果及三文治給眾參加者享用，及有特別設計的卡路里消耗表。

是次活動反應十分熱烈，大家多點選擇步行，校巴的載客量得到紓緩，也有助減少汽車廢氣排放，令校園空氣清新，更符合環保原則。再者步行對身體健康有莫大益處，不費分亳，往來校園的時間與乘車時間相若，沿途更可欣賞美景，一舉多得，何樂而不為。強健體魄始於足下，讓我們齊來步行。

步行是有益身心的活動，在校園步行，沿途可欣賞美景，更有助紓緩車輛載客量，減少廢氣排放，使校園空氣清新。
