Invite participants of exercise classes to be health ambassadors, assisting in the public education activities by sharing their experience of doing exercise and demonstrating fitness exercise to the audience.
Organise community public education activities to increase the elderly's understanding on frailty and sarcopenia, promote healthy diet and demonstrate simple exercise by physical trainer to encourage the elderly to do the workout at home with the video aid.
