The United Arab Emirates University (UAEU) held its 1st Fitness and Physical Strength Championship recently. The Student Activities Department on the male campus organized the activity in the Student Activities Building on the morning of Sunday 1st of March, 2015. The event was aimed at school and university students.

Professor Yaqoub Al Ahmadi, Head of Student Activities Department (male campus), stressed that the goal of the event was to highlight the outstanding athletic provision at UAEU in terms of equipment and modern sporting facilities. The university boasts fitness centers on both the male and female campuses which have exercise equipment such as free weights, training weights, cardiovascular fitness equipment as well as fitness classes and programs. Such facilities help to attract school students to the university by promoting a culture of physical fitness at UAEU.

He added that this competition was divided into two categories: the first for school age students (14 schools took part); and the second for universities. The events included a jump challenge, push-ups, abdominal and flexibility exercises and a number of other physical contests that tested the fitness of the students. Five students from each school and university participated in these challenges. UAEU was first, Abu Dhabi University came second place and the Al Jaheli Institute was third.

At the school level, Dar Al Uloom School was first, Al Khalil International Private School came second and the Emirates National School came in third place. Hani Taha, coach and coordinator of the championship, said that “the championship was appreciated by all the participants who expressed a desire to compete in future events”.
