IronFX continues its ethical and socially active philosophy by donating a generous amount for the implementation of the research project directed by Dr Christoforos Giannaki, faculty member of the Department of Life and Health Sciences - University of Nicosia. The focus of the project is on physical activity and health promotion, taking place at the Agios Antonios Lyceum, located in the city of Limassol, Cyprus.
IronFX’s donation was crucial for the acquisition of important equipment, necessary for the execution of the proposed project.
Adolescent obesity has increased radically in recent years and it is the proven cause of cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes and hypertension in adult life. Therefore, physical education and activity classes at school are very important. Research has shown a great percentage of adolescents have a low fitness level and have an increased risk for the diseases mentioned above. The project will serve as an intervention in order to increase physical activity and the fitness level of adolescents within the school environment.
The use of this scientific equipment will increase the quality of the research and its potential outcome both on a local and international level.
