For the sake of everyone's health

Encouraging sports practice and good lifestyle habits among the university community were the objectives of these days, which had the participation of 1,608 people from the community of the two extensions.

880 participants from Zipaquirá and 728 from Chía, including students, teachers, administrative staff and graduates, have taken part in activities such as the "Friendship Tournament", the teacher week and the inter-semester sports events

“It is worth highlighting that this semester, when we were able to return to in-person classes, the inter-semester sports events were held at the Chía extension, such as the volleyball tournament in which more than 100 students participated, as well as the table tennis, basketball, and chess tournaments,” stated Hugo Celemín, Sports Coordinator for the Chía and Zipaquirá extensions.

In addition, there are academic actions through campaigns that promote healthy lifestyles with nutritional recommendations for health care, involving exercise in daily life.

These guidelines are provided by the University Welfare team at the extension campuses. “We seek spaces where people can engage in physical activity and feel that it benefits their health, allows them to make good use of their free time, and improves their athletic performance,” Celemín concluded.
