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.
