(Extracted) MPTA launched the Brain Health Aerobic Exercise Promotion series to celebrate World PT Day 2025. The series launched on 7 September with a community focused brain health aerobic exercise session that aligned closely with World Physiotherapy’s 2025 theme of Active Ageing. The program emphasized how safe, regular physical activity underpins healthy longevity by preserving functional independence, supporting cognitive vitality, reducing fall risk, and fostering social participation. By highlighting evidence-based components—resistance exercise, aerobic exercise, and cognitive practice—the event translated the Active Ageing theme into practical, research-informed guidance for maintaining brain health and daily function, especially in the context of dementia, tailored to Macau’s community needs.
