In Kodaira City, the percentage of the citizens who walk 8,000 steps or more on average in a day in everyday life is low (15.8% for men and 8.0% for women aged 20 to 64 and 6.8% for men and 5.4% for women aged 65 or older). To address health issues including it, various programs are promoted with the target of helping citizens increase their physical activities in everyday life.
One of the programs to achieve the target is the Kodaira Health Point Project, which was launched in 2018 to encourage people to establish an exercise habit and continue it.
In this project, the city lends meters to measure physical activities to citizens and gives points according to their health development efforts including the number of steps in everyday life, participation in the events designated by the city and receipt of medical checkups. A walking class to walk the courses in the Kodaira City Walking Map is also organized as an event for the participants in the health point project.
These programs aim to ensure that citizens can continue to develop their health while enjoying it, enhance their health awareness and achieve the target.
