[TVB J Sport]Promoting Light Volleyball: An Adapted Physical Activity for the Older Adults and People with Physical Disabilities
2025-01-25 00:00 - 23:59
Recently, Dr. LEUNG Ka Man, Carman, an Associate Professor of the Department of Health and Physical Education at our university, was invited to introduce light volleyball on the J Sport program on TVB. Dr. Leung explained that, compared to traditional volleyball, light volleyball features a larger and lighter ball with simpler rules, making it easier for participants to get started. Additionally, as a non-contact sport, light volleyball significantly reduces the risk of injury, making it particularly suitable for older adults. Dr. Leung’s research indicated that older participants playing light volleyball showed significant improvements in physical and psychological health. Dr Leung and her team also adapted light volleyball to play in people with physical disabilities. Besides, sitting light volleyball provides a highly inclusive environment for people with and without physical disabilities, allowing them not only to enjoy the benefits of sports but also to enhance their social and mental well-being. In the interview, older participants shared that light volleyball is not only enjoyable but also fosters teamwork. The rules are easy to learn, and the activity helps them improve their physical health. The promotion of light volleyball creates more opportunities for people of various ages and physical abilities to engage in sports, infusing greater inclusivity and vitality into community sports in Hong Kong.

From 17th – 20th April 2025, a group of 46 students from HPE, led by Mr. CHAN Ching Yat, Roy, participated in a four-day experiential learning trip to the Greater Bay Area. This initiative was part of the Community Service Learning project and aimed to enhance students’ understanding of physical education practices in mainland China while promoting professional development and cross-cultural understanding.

The visit began at Shenzhen University, where approximately 100 undergraduates took part in a practical teaching exchange including presentations on physical education policies and a tour of the university’s sports facilities. Following this, students worked with local middle school students at Princeton Skylake International School, conducting light volleyball sessions that focused on experiential teaching and cooperative learning.

On April 19th, the group volunteered at a community event with around 120 participants, promoting health and sports among youth. Students assisted with planning, registration, reception, group organization, teaching, officiating, and maintaining order. Their management of logistical responsibilities was noted by local educators. The trip concluded with group debriefing sessions for students to reflect on their experiences and prepare for their final reports. This experience contributed to refining students’ instructional skills and strengthening cultural connections between Shenzhen and Hong Kong, aligning with the project’s objectives of fostering national identity and belonging.

As an elite athlete-friendly university, EdUHK has long been committed to supporting the dual career development of elite athletes in both academics and sports, while also striving to strengthen connections and networking between alumni and the University. In an effort to further promote the professional development of physical education, the Department recently co-organized the “Artistic Gymnastics Badges Award Scheme Workshop” and the “Artistic Gymnastics Badges Award Scheme Examinations” in collaboration with the Gymnastics Association of Hong Kong, China. The events brought together several alumni and experienced gymnastics coaches to facilitate the sharing and application of professional knowledge.

The activities took place on 6, 9, and 20 May 2025 at the Gymnasium at EdUHK’s Tai Po campus, and were designed for pre-service physical education teachers preparing to enter the teaching profession. The workshop featured Mr. Shek Wai Hung, M.H., a graduate of the Bachelor of Health Education (Honours) and a retired elite athlete of the Hong Kong Gymnastics Team, who served as the instructor. He generously shared his extensive expertise and teaching techniques with the participants. For the examination, Miss Leung Ka Man, Mr. Jim Man Hin— both the former members of Hong Kong Gymnastics Team who graduated from the Bachelor of Health Education (Honours) and Mr. Shek Wai Hung — served as examiners. Their involvement demonstrated their strong ties with the University and allowed them to inspire the next generation of physical educators through personal experience. In addition, the Gymnastics Association of Hong Kong, China assigned professional artistic gymnastics coaches Mr. Yim Chi Hung and Mr. Lee Man Hin as examiners to ensure a fair and professional assessment.

The workshop covered the following topics:

Key movements from Badges Award Scheme

Safe practice, spotting techniques, and teaching precautions

Appropriate use of equipment and facilities

Following the workshop, a total of 94 students from the Bachelor of Education (Honours) (Physical Education) and Postgraduate Diploma in Education (Physical Education) took part in the Badges Award Scheme Examinations held on 20 May 2025, demonstrating their strong commitment to professional practice. The event not only helped reinforce students’ teaching skills and practical experience but also deepened their understanding of gymnastics education and promotion through hands-on learning and expert guidance. The Department extends its sincere appreciation to the Gymnastics Association of Hong Kong, China for its continued support, and looks forward to further collaborations that contribute to the advancement of physical education in Hong Kong.
