Healthy Athlete Screenings go from strength to strength

June was a busy month for Healthy Athlete screenings, with Fun Fitness in action at regional basketball and football events incorporating screenings facilitated by two teams of physiotherapy students from RCSI. 

Athletes enjoyed seeing how they measure up on tests of flexibility, strength, balance and fitness, and we hope they are working on the "homework exercises" given to them. 

Meanwhile, Health Promotion screenings took place at the Eastern Region Services Bocce event, where athletes could go through some basic health assessments, learn about their lifestyle and eating habits, and find out about changes they can make to improve long-term health.
