The main NCDs prevalent in India are cardiovascular diseases, cancer, chronic respiratory diseases and diabetes, together contributing most significantly to NCD-related morbidity and deaths.
Specifically, cardiovascular diseases, including conditions such as coronary heart disease, stroke and hypertension, account for approximately 45% of all NCD deaths in India. Chronic respiratory diseases contribute about 22% of NCD-related deaths. Cancers and diabetes are also significant contributors, each responsible for around 12% and 3% of NCD-related deaths, respectively. Other notable NCDs prevalent in India include dementia, hypertension, obesity, and overweight.
It is now globally accepted that Exercise as a medicine offers cost-effective interventions. People now want to take greater care of themselves.
Our course will enable the fitness professionals, physical education teachers, S&C coaches and all those who care about the patients with NCDs to deliver physical activity in the right dosage for preventing and / or managing the diseases.
