Project to support the establishment of exercise habits for children and people with disabilities

2024/ 8/ 30

Business Introduction

Business overview

Exercise and sports are recognized to have various benefits for people with disabilities, such as improving their health, having fun, interacting with peers, and participating in society. Therefore, in fiscal year 5, the Tokyo Metropolitan Government started a project to regularly implement exercise programs at welfare facilities and other facilities for people with disabilities, with the aim of helping them develop exercise habits. This project aims to enable people to enjoy exercise and sports on a daily basis in their communities by stepping up from exercise at welfare facilities, which are a place for people with disabilities during the day, to exercise at local gymnasiums.
