The Ministry of Education's Bureau of Sports today unveiled its "National Sports Pavilion" at the "Third High-Age Health Industry Expo" at the World Trade Center, aiming to promote a healthy lifestyle and invite the public to participate in the "Strong Muscles, Super Long Life" activities. The event also showcases the Ministry's vision for promoting high-age health industry development.

Taiwan is at the forefront of the ultra-aging society, with the trend of population aging becoming increasingly apparent. According to data from the National Health Insurance Administration, more than 40% of Taiwan's population reached 60 years old in 2020, and is expected to reach 53.1% by 2036. In response to this aging challenge, both the government and private organizations have begun to focus on developing the high-age health industry, including health care, physical rehabilitation, and home care services.

The Bureau of Sports' National Sports Pavilion has showcased a series of activities and resources related to a healthy lifestyle, including physical fitness tests, sports skills training, and health lectures. Among them, the physical fitness test is a key project, allowing the public to understand their physical condition and receive personalized exercise recommendations. Sports skills training provides the public with opportunities to learn various sports skills, such as dance and yoga, to encourage active participation in sports.

In addition to the activities, the Bureau of Sports has invited relevant organizations and companies to participate in the exhibition, showcasing the latest developments and innovations in the high-age health industry. Participating companies include sports equipment manufacturers, sports teaching centers, and health food companies, providing the public with one-stop health lifestyle resources. At the same time, the Bureau of Sports has also collaborated with medical research institutions to showcase research achievements and innovative products, such as smartphone-based health monitoring systems.

The National Sports Pavilion, in addition to providing the public with direct experience and learning opportunities, also showcases the Ministry's vision for promoting high-age health industry development. Ministry of Sports Director Huang Jianmin stated at the opening ceremony that the government will continue to promote the development of the high-age health industry, including investing in research and innovation, and providing policy support. At the same time, the Bureau of Sports will continue to promote a healthy lifestyle, inviting the public to participate in "Strong Muscles, Super Long Life" activities, and create a healthy and happy society together.

In general, the National Sports Pavilion is a diversified and innovative activity platform that provides the public with health lifestyle resources and learning opportunities, while also showcasing the Ministry's vision for promoting high-age health industry development. This event will continue in future high-age health industry expos and invite more public participation and support.
