Gymnastics of UL employees

The University of Latvia, in co-operation with the sports Centre of the University of Latvia, implements a unique event related to the involvement of employees in everyday sports activities. The process is done in everyday clothes, with no additional inventory involved. Teachers and employees of the administrative sphere, as well as representatives of other fields working at the University of Latvia, may participate in activities.

One activity takes about 30 minutes, during which the main task is to move the body. The emphasis is on exercises related to problem areas for seated workers – neck, back and lumbar areas. It can be observed that after such activities, people's self-esteem and therefore productivity – increase. Alongside doing exercise, the importance of sport as a whole is being brought to light, a vital factor for any person.

Activities are led by UL IZPF lecturer and UL General fitness coach Richard Parandyuk.
