The opening ceremony for scientific fitness guidance activities, such as softball and aerobics, for the elderly in Guiyang was held on Feb 28. At the same time, the training course for secondary social sports instructors was also held.

The training course lasted three days and consisted of three sports activities: softball (fancy), softball (net) and fitness ball exercises. 150 fitness enthusiasts from across the city participated.

The purpose of this training is to enrich and strengthen the city's softball, fitness ball and elderly sports teams, and improve the level of scientific sports.

It is reported that in 2023, the ninth Guizhou Provincial Sports Meeting for the Elderly and the fourth National Sports and Fitness Conference for the Elderly will take place.

Taking this training as an opportunity, some excellent elderly athletes will be selected to form teams to represent Guiyang in the provincial elderly sports meeting and Guizhou province in the national meeting.
